Community concerns prompted a response from the University of Minnesota Police Department. A surveillance device will be taken down due to outcry from neighbors. This decision follows outreach from elected officials who heard from residents with concerns about the device.

The device in question is a Flock Safety camera. It was installed at an intersection near the West Bank campus. Elected officials, including a city council member and a state representative, contacted the university about the issue.

Further details about the removal of the camera are available from the university police department. The decision aims to maintain trust with the community.
