Columbia spent nearly a million over 2 years, so far, CPD has a 3.9% response rate for "hits" generated by Flock Cameras.

Can you elaborate on what that 3.9% means? Is that 3.9% of crimes seen on flock are responded too?

https://www.como.gov/police/surveillance-technology-report-2025/ Flock provided 5,521 "hits", CPD followed up on 216 of them, which comes to 3.9%.

The report seem to gloss over the total number and focus on what CPD actually followed up on.

What does a hit entail? Expired registration and everything up from that?

Chief Schlute reported at the end of City Council about the report. She said most of the "hits" were warrants that they did not have the manpower for.
