Mayor's Statement Armondo Pavone, Mayor

The City of Renton takes the privacy of our community seriously. While our Flock system was not specifically targeted, we are aware that we were included in a broad, unauthorized search identified in a recent University of Washington report. I applaud and fully support Chief Schuldt’s swift action to pause external data sharing and implement stricter safeguards. Public safety and community trust must go hand in hand—and we are committed to both.
