CAYUGA HEIGHTS, NY (607NewsNow) — Cayuga Heights is turning away from Flock Safety. 

The Board of Trustees voted unanimously Wednesday, June 17 against renewing its contract with the security company, which runs out in September.

Four Flock cameras have been operating in the village since May 2025. The decision follows a similar ruling in Trumansburg, which also voted not to renew its contract with Flock Safety in 2026. 

The Ithaca Common Council and Tompkins County Legislature both recently voted to end its contract with Flock over concerns from the public about privacy.
