A September 4 mayoral statement announces a future suspension and exploration of contract termination; it does not record completed shutdown.

A dated decision announcement
A September 4, 2026 statement on Stevens Point’s official website says the city will suspend data collection from its Flock cameras effective September 8. Mayor Mike Wiza says staff will cover the units and that the city will explore ending its contract. September 8 is after this report’s September 6 source review, so the announced suspension cannot yet be described here as completed. [1]
The mayor’s stated reasons
Wiza cites concerns about data handling and trust in the provider while defending the investigative value of the technology. Those are the mayor’s stated reasons, not independent findings about another jurisdiction or a proven contract breach. The statement announces exploration of termination, not an adopted termination measure or vendor acknowledgement. [1]
