At a glance: Monroe¶
38 mentions of surveillance technology in 26 Monroe meetings, 2018–2026
Not the full history: transcripts begin 2018-04-17, but Monroe's published video archive goes back to 2014-10-11. Meetings before 2018 are not yet transcribed, so this report cannot say what was discussed then. Older meetings are still being added.
This report collects every mention of surveillance technology found in Monroe's recorded public meetings -- automatically transcribed, then keyword-scanned. Each mention below links straight to the moment in the source video, so anything here can be checked against the recording itself.
Start with Timeline to read the discussion in order, or Findings by topic to jump to one technology.
Mentions are found by keyword and are not individually verified. A mention means the words were spoken at a public meeting -- not that the town uses, bought, or approved the technology. Read the quote and watch the clip before drawing a conclusion.

Licence-plate searches by Monroe police¶
Six Connecticut towns have released the Flock audit log of every search run against their cameras. Below is what that record holds for Monroe's own police department -- not a finding, just the log.
Monroe CT PD
- 877 searches between 2025-01 and 2026-07 (19 months with at least one search)
- 344 camera networks swept by the average single search
- 100% of them reached beyond Monroe's own cameras
- The commonest stated reason is free text or a numeric code, rather than one of the preset categories Flock introduced in December 2025
Open Monroe CT PD's search dashboard -- every one of those searches, filterable by month, stated reason, search type and how far it reached, with a How to read this tab covering what each field means and what the record cannot tell you.
A floor, not a total. The record only sees queries that reached those six towns' cameras. A single Flock query typically sweeps thousands of networks at once, so most of a Connecticut department's searching does land in it -- but the real count is higher. Nothing in it names an officer, shows a plate, or records what any search returned.
Mentions by topic: first seen / most recent¶
Back to the meetings. Everything above this point was about licence-plate searches -- what the town's police looked up. Everything below is about what was said: each mention is a moment in a recorded public meeting where a surveillance technology came up, with a link to that moment in the video.
| Topic | Mentions | Meetings | First seen | Most recent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALPR / Flock | 4 | 4 | 2020-04-23 | 2025-04-28 |
| Other biometrics | 2 | 2 | 2022-11-07 | 2024-05-28 |
| Body cameras | 1 | 1 | 2020-06-08 | 2020-06-08 |
| Drones | 31 | 19 | 2018-09-24 | 2026-05-21 |

Get the full transcripts¶

Every finding in this report is a keyword match against exactly these files. Download them to check a quote in its full context, or to search for something this report's keyword list does not cover.
What's inside: one plain-text .txt file per meeting, named <date>_<video-id>_<meeting-title>.txt, plus a MANIFEST.txt giving the date range and how much of the town's video archive is transcribed.
How to use it
unzip monroe-meeting-transcripts.zip -d monroe
cd monroe
# every meeting that mentions a term, with the surrounding line
grep -rin "license plate" .
# just the meeting dates, from the filenames
grep -ril "flock" . | sort
The filename's leading date is the meeting date, so a hit tells you which meeting to watch. Find that meeting in the Timeline below for a direct, timestamped link to that moment in the video.
These are machine-generated captions, not certified minutes. Expect mis-heard names and technical terms, and quote the video rather than the transcript when accuracy matters.
Generated 2026-09-27T15:35:21 from Monroe's meeting transcripts and agenda documents. Home addresses spoken during public comment are redacted; see the archive MANIFEST for what that means.
