Flock

11:50 PM. A house in Bloomington was engulfed in flames. First responders rescued a 54-year-old mother. Evidence suggested it was attempted murder. Detectives needed immediate answers. If a violent crime isn’t solved in the first 48 hours, the chance of it ever being solved drops significantly. A @Flock_Safety LPR near the scene was damaged. An act of vandalism. They worked through the night. Flock LPRs helped find her adult son, the suspect, in a neighboring community. Debate about public safety is healthy. But it should be informed by the experience of first responders. That’s how Greenville, MS saw a 79% reduction in violent crime. It’s also why Bloomington’s Police Chief warned that without the aid of Flock, violent cases may stay open longer, and some may never be solved. Vandalism is illegal. It actively assists a suspect. And it never considers the victim.

💡➡️ Evidence Engine connects the tools agencies already rely on, bringing LPR and video TOGETHER into a single, real-time workflow. That means faster leads, efficient investigations, and clearer, more defensible cases without the friction of disconnected systems. Because better information leads to better outcomes. 🎤 ⬇️

@Flock_Safety cameras are helping solve previously unsolvable hit and runs, it’s one of the key reasons Mothers Against Drunk Driving supports Flock! Proud to see this in my city!

Enough is enough. Greenville, MS, proves that no community has to accept violent crime as a fact of life. Every community deserves to feel safe. In '25, the city <30K residents, challenged by a poverty rate of 20% or higher for the past 40 years, faced a violent crime rate that was 3.5x the state average. A high school football star was killed visiting home. A 16-year-old was shot in the back of his family’s car. Stray bullets hit the local school. Less than a year later? Violent crime is down 79%. Greenville implemented a curfew to curb gun violence and partnered with @Flock_Safety to provide officers with our Safe City suite. Raven gunshot detection gave officers life-saving minutes for de-escalation. Flock LPRs unearthed and helped stop criminal networks. Homicides dropped by 90%. Aggravated assaults dropped by 76%. Turnarounds happen when communities, regardless of size or resource, refuse to accept status quo. As Mayor Simmons declared, “Enough is enough.”

THIS is what public and private working together looks like. ⬇️ Three victims. Three locations. No clear connection. A series of deadly shootings in Brookhaven and DeKalb County, Georgia, had investigators searching for any thread linking the scenes. The break came from a single vehicle. Flock license plate readers, including one placed in an HOA community, helped investigators identify the same car at multiple locations. A suspect was taken into custody within hours.

From faster case closures to real-time intelligence, agencies are rethinking what’s possible with modern plate reader technology. Built to support objective policing and deliver results at scale. Not all LPRs are created equal.

A baby was locked in a hot car. Every second mattered. Flock DFR launched immediately to locate the vehicle and help officers respond fast. (cc: @CoronaPD)

📍Washington Township, NJ A senior was targeted in a scam after receiving a call that appeared to come from her bank. She was instructed to withdraw thousands in cash, and a suspect later came to her home to collect it. Investigators used Flock cameras to help identify the suspect, leading to an arrest and the recovery of the money. (cc: @TwpNJ)

📍Columbia, Missouri Three people were struck by a car in Columbia, Missouri, leaving one with life-threatening injuries. Investigators used Flock cameras to track the suspect vehicle into Osage County, where police located and arrested the driver. He now faces assault and armed criminal action charges.

📍Spokane Valley, WA 30 minutes. That's how long it took investigators in Spokane Valley to locate the suspect vehicle after a fatal hit-and-run. Flock cameras gave law enforcement the objective data they needed to move quickly from the scene to a suspect. (cc: @CityofSV, @SpokaneSheriff)

Inspection of rotten wood posts and I found a @Flock_Safety cameras where someone cut the cables and smashed. You can disagree but that's not the way to fight for your position.

On April 28 at 4:30 p.m., the Special Response Team received a @Flock_Safety alert about a stolen vehicle near E. Mississippi Ave. and S. Peoria St. Deputies found the car in a King Soopers parking lot on S. Havana St., where they saw a man enter the vehicle. They conducted a safe, high-risk stop and detained the driver. During the investigation, the driver told deputies there were illegal firearms in the car. Deputies recovered an AK-47 and a MAC-10 with a suppressor, both with defaced serial numbers, along with a large amount of ammunition. Johnathan Quintero, 41, was taken into custody and faces multiple charges, including auto theft and weapons violations. Excellent work by our Special Response Team in helping keep our community safe! #StolenVehicle #TrafficStop #ArrestMade

@pleasantphart This accusation is false. Read more here: flocksafety.com/blog/understan…

@Flock_Safety Is your media relations department ever going to answer their phones to address the peeping tom executives in Dunwoody, Georgia

In Cleveland, every investigation starts somewhere, and getting to that starting point faster can change how a case unfolds.

@MarioNawfal The story states that the license plate appeared on Flock’s “Hotlist.” That is factually incorrect. It was entered by local law enforcement into the Colorado Crime Information Center database, which is what prompted the alert.

🇺🇸 A guy keeps getting pulled over because Flock cameras can't tell the difference between the letter "O" and the number "0" on license plates. His truck? No warrants, clean record. Cops keep getting pinged anyway because some other plate is a near-match and the system flags it as a hit. This is the tech running automated law enforcement across the country… feel safe?

Once gain, Flock camera system is targeting an innocent person. A man in Colorado keeps getting targeted by law enforcement for a warrant he doesn't have, simply because he's driving his truck past Flock cameras. Those cameras are erroneously notifying law enforcement of the warrant and his direction of travel, and of course, they go arrest him. He's got a lawsuit in the making, but he best not settle with an NDA. It's time these cameras come down. They make innocent people pay the price.

Cities and local law enforcement own their data and control their sharing. In California, in compliance with local law, Flock has restricted any ability to share data out of state or with federal agencies. All searches on the platform are logged in an unalterable audit trail. Learn more here: flocksafety.com/trust

San Jose, California residents file a lawsuit against the city for their deployment of Flock license plate reading cameras The people behind this lawsuit say the city has violated the Fourth Amendment by conducting surveillance without a warrant “Drivers have filed a class action suit against San Jose and its police department over the deployment of nearly 500 cameras, including by Flock safety” In California Flock camera data has been shared with the federal government as well as nonprofits (which is insane) Activists also say they are being used to track illegals in San Jose. So I guess this is one benefit
