Help get the county's Flock cameras removed
Choose an option below. A short personal email to the commissioners is a good place to start.
1 / Email
Email the commissioners
Tell the Board why you want the cameras removed. Choose a draft below or write your own. Add your name and community, check the recipients and read the whole message before sending.
Opening a draft takes you to your email app. Nothing is sent by this website. Emailing the Board doesn't sign you up to speak at a meeting.
Messages to officials may become public records. Leave out personal details you wouldn't want made public.

Dear Commissioners, I’m asking you to end Surry County’s use and support of Flock and similar license plate reader systems, and take the lawful steps available to remove county-operated cameras. [Add a sentence about why this matters to you.] Please let me know what steps the Board can take and when residents can discuss this publicly. Thank you, [Your name] [Your community]

3. Attend a county meeting
You can speak during Open Forum or attend to listen. Check the official agenda before you go; Flock may not be a scheduled topic.
The county's rules allow three minutes per speaker and up to 30 minutes for Open Forum. Arrive a little early and ask staff how Open Forum will be handled. Bring notes about your concern and the action you want the Board to take.
