New license plate readers are making waves across the Wichita area. When the new Flock cameras are installed in Derby, the city will be one of over 1,400 to use them. Flock says their safety cameras are shown to reduce crime by up to 70%. “It’s going to help solve crime for Derby residents and that’s our number one goal,” Captain Sarah Oldridge with Derby PD said. “Not only does the Flock camera pick up the license plate, but it can also allow us to search or obtain information by a vehicle description.” The City of Derby won’t be installing them for another six to eight weeks, but they can currently team up with surrounding departments that already have them, like Wichita PD, to fight crime.
