Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Thursday, October 30, twenty twenty-five.Flagstaff is waking up today to a lively mix of sunshine and brisk autumn air, with the aspens in full golden glow and that unmistakable chill reminding us it’s just about Halloween. Today, the city’s privacy and security debate continues as Flagstaff’s contract with Flock Safety—the company behind those license plate reading cameras—is under review. After a heated city council meeting this week, a citizen task force is being formed to help decide how local authorities balance catching criminals with protecting privacy. Flock cameras have recently helped police solve serious crimes here, but concerns linger, especially after reports of data misuse in other states. Mayor Becky Daggett says she trusts the police but is still wary of the company’s practices. City officials are narrowing who gets access to this data: only Coconino County, NAU, and tribal police, and they’ve shortened how long vehicle records are kept from thirty days down to fourteen. Councilwoman Miranda Sweet warned residents, this issue is not going away, so expect more updates as policies catch up with technology.Beyond city hall, the outdoors are calling—just remember, safety first if you’re heading for higher elevation. A recent rescue mission on Humphreys Peak highlighted the risks: two hikers were struck by lightning near the summit. Rescue crews are still searching for one missing man, so if you’re hiking the peaks, keep your eye on the weather and take those pop-up storms seriously.For those looking to stretch their legs in a safer way, the L.I.F.E Run for Renewal Training Program meets tonight at five thirty, offering a fun and supportive environment to get moving and meet new friends.
