Rockport Police Department, Texas

09/11/2026

Today, the Rockport Police Department joins our nation in remembering September 11, 2001.

We remember the 2,977 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless acts of courage and selflessness witnessed that day and in the days that followed.

Twenty-five years later, we honor their memory, their sacrifice, and the unity our nation found in one of its darkest moments.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Flock Camera Contributions to Local Public Safety

Given the recent controversy surrounding Flock cameras, the Rockport Police Department wants to share data reflecting our use of this technology in service to our community.

The numbers provided represent RPD’s utilization of the Flock Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system for all of 2025 and year-to-date 2026. The data includes cases originating in Rockport as well as cases in which RPD has assisted other law enforcement agencies.

RPD has established policies and guidelines governing the use of ALPR technology. Those policies are available on the City of Rockport website, along with additional information about the department’s use of the system. RPD also conducts audits and oversight to help ensure the technology is used appropriately and for legitimate law enforcement purposes.

We understand that the use of this technology can raise questions about privacy, data sharing, and appropriate use. We encourage our community to review the information and our policies, and as always, RPD staff is available to answer questions or address concerns.
