According to the department, those lists include vehicles entered into the National Crime Information Center and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.<\/p>\n<p>Police Chief Jeremy Story said residents should pay attention to how new technology affects privacy. He said the video explains how officers use the cameras and responds to what he described as inaccurate information about the system.<\/p>\n<p>LCPD says it retains Flock camera data for 30 days before the data is automatically removed from the system\u2019s cache. The portal also explains what the cameras can and cannot detect and provides the department\u2019s acceptable-use policy, including prohibited uses.<\/p>\n<p>The video is available on LCPD\u2019s Facebook page and the City of Las Cruces YouTube channel. The portal is available through LCPD\u2019s Transparency Page.<\/p>\n<p>John Krehbiel \u2013 Bravo Mic Communications News, LLC \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:John@Bravomic.com\">John@Bravomic.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAS CRUCES &#8211; The Las Cruces Police Department has introduced an online portal showing how it uses Flock Safety license<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/demingnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/09\/26\/las-cruces-police-flock-camera-transparency-portal\/\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-john-k","post-1706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crime-news","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
