RICHMOND — The Richmond City Council has decided not to extend its contract with an automatic license plate reader company, after concerns the data could be shared with ICE federal agents.
Council did not extend the $10,000 per year contract with Vigilant Solutions, based in Livermore. The company has entered into a contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, for unknown reasons, said Richmond Chief Allwyn Brown at Tuesday’s council meeting. The city has had a contract with Vigilant since 2014, and the new one would have started July 1.
