• Flock Cameras: City Manager Working Out Details of Contract for License Plate Reading Devices (watertownmanews.com) — Watertown officials are finalizing rules for new Flock license plate-reading cameras, tightening when data can be shared and emphasizing privacy protections before the system goes live. The City Council will publicly review the police policy, and residents can learn more at a January Tuesday Night Talk, even as Cambridge drops its Flock contract and Waltham drafts its own surveillance ordinance. 
• Project Save Presents Its First Full Exhibit in New Space (mirrorspectator.com) — A powerful new photography and multimedia exhibit on Armenian displacement is now open at Project Save’s gallery in Watertown through January 17, 2026.
