• Caledonia residents welcome village's decision to end Flock contract in 2027 (tmj4.com) — Caledonia leaders have voted to end the village's contract for Flock license-plate cameras in the 2027 budget, redirecting about $12,000 for other police security tools. Residents and the police chief largely support moving away from Flock, though neighbors near recent crime scenes are split on how future surveillance technology should balance safety with privacy.
