Clark County School District (CCSD) said it would pause use of software from the controversial license plate reader company Flock Safety while the system undergoes review by CCSD Chief of Police Jeff Clark.

The Wednesday announcement comes just a day after The Indy broke news that CCSD police had an active agreement with Flock to access all of its shared cameras in Clark County. 

"The Clark County School District (CCSD) understands the imperative to balance the need for privacy with the need to respond quickly to serious crimes," the district wrote in a statement. "Chief Clark has decided to pause the use of the Flock System cameras until his review is completed." 

CCSD has had access to the Flock network since at least Aug. 21, 2024, through an agreement with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Foundation. That agreement gave the school district access to an online portal that lets law enforcement search vehicle evidence from a nationwide network of license plate reader cameras. Emails The Indy obtained through public record requests show that CCSD police officers were in talks with Flock throughout 2025 to purchase license plate readers. 

CCSD said in a statement that it will have no further comment until the review is complete and will update the community on its final decision regarding whether it will reinitiate the use of Flock System cameras.

CCSD's police chief reports to district Superintendent Jhone Ebert, who did not reply to a request for comment. The president of the CCSD school board, Emily Stevens, also did not reply to a request for comment on whether the board had any input on the pause or whether they will discuss the issue at a board meeting. 

Board member Adam Johnson said he has not personally heard from any parents or school personnel about the agreement.
