About us
Flock Safety is the leading public safety platform designed to help communities prevent and reduce crime, not just respond to it. We partner with cities, law enforcement agencies, schools, businesses, and neighborhoods to deliver real-time, objective intelligence that helps stop crime quickly, responsibly, and transparently. Our technology captures objective evidence, such as vehicle and situational data, and applies privacy-first machine learning to surface actionable insights, so investigators can focus on facts, not guesswork. The result is faster resolutions, safer communities, and fewer intrusive policing practices. Unlike legacy systems built around force, hardware sprawl, or after-the-fact evidence review, Flock is purpose-built for crime prevention and accountability at scale. Our cloud-native platform is easy to deploy, simple to use, and designed with civil liberties at the core, including built-in data minimization, auditing, and user transparency. Why communities choose Flock Safety: Prevention-first public safety: stop crime earlier with shared, objective intelligence. Privacy by design: clear retention controls, audit logs, and policy-driven access. Real-time insights: machine learning that helps identify leads in minutes, not days. Unified platform: cameras, sensors, and intelligence working together seamlessly. Community trust: technology that supports public safety without overreach. Today, thousands of cities and organizations rely on Flock Safety to reduce crime, improve clearance rates, and build safer environments - without compromising the values of the communities they serve. Flock Safety is redefining public safety for the modern world: proactive, accountable, and community-centered. TX Alarm License: C29742701

You may have read instances of law enforcement officers being arrested for misusing Flock. That is due to our Audit Assistance tool working as intended, which launched 16 weeks ago. Audit Assistance is now mandatory for every customer, with automatic lockouts in place when potential misuse is flagged.

Because of Flock, more communities are safer. Our commitment to public safety will never change, but we are continually listening and growing in the areas of privacy, accountability, and security. Today, here’s what is changing. Privacy: We led the industry with a 30-day delete policy. Today, we’re updating our recommendation and default to 7 days. We’re making this change to go even further to protect privacy. If critical evidence is required for a longer investigation, it will be preserved via our new feature, Evidence Mode. Sharing: Sharing Flock data is controlled 100% by our customers. Offense filtering now allows cities to decide which types of cases other agencies can and can’t access based on laws and local community values. For example, City A could allow City B to search its cameras only for a stolen vehicle, missing person, or violent crime while blocking searches related to immigration enforcement. This gives communities more control over data sharing while preserving collaboration where policies align. Accountability: Misuse of Flock is unacceptable. Our audit logs document all searches so misuse can be identified and stopped. Audit Assistance, which flags abnormal activity, will now be mandatory, as will a case code for all searches. Moving forward, proactive lockout will automatically lock out users with abnormal behavior for review. Data Ownership: Customers own the data captured by their ALPR cameras, and that has never changed. Next week, we’ll publish an easy-to-read explanation of our contract to make that clearer. Security: Bishop Fox, a leading independent security firm, has conducted a thorough review of our products and capabilities. We will publish its summary of findings and our remediations in September. We’re also launching a Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure program for security researchers and MFA became mandatory for all Flock logins this month. Transparency: More than 1,500 agencies have published a Flock Transparency Portal showing their policy, retention period, sharing partners, and search activity. This will continue to expand. Flock technology now assists officers in more than one million crimes solved annually. These changes are the continuation of our commitment to both safety and privacy.

Flock was named in the Inc. 5000, recognizing us as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America for the fourth year. It's a milestone I'm incredibly proud of because of what it represents. Growth means more communities choosing to trust us. More customers relying on our technology. More talented people joining our mission because they believe in what we're building. That kind of growth is worth celebrating.

A child was safely recovered after investigators tracked a vehicle nearly 200 miles across North Carolina. The Vance County Sheriff's Office says detectives used Flock cameras to locate the vehicle in Charlotte, where the suspect was taken into custody.

There’s a lot of noise in the conversation around public safety technology, especially including Flock. That’s why independent, neutral scrutiny matters. The San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury — an independent oversight body with no stake in the outcome — recently took a close look at how local agencies use ALPR technology, including Flock’s technology and the safeguards surrounding it. Its findings are worth reading. The report recognized substantive changes Flock has made to strengthen privacy, transparency, accountability, and compliance — from tighter data-sharing controls and enhanced audit logs to stronger permissions and new oversight tools. What stands out to me isn’t simply that the findings are positive. It’s who they came from. Trust shouldn’t depend on taking Flock’s word for it. It should be earned through transparency, rigorous scrutiny, and a willingness to keep improving. In a debate where commentary about Flock can vary widely in perspective and credibility, independent reviews like this help cut through the noise and give communities something more valuable: facts.
