Flock Safety

Flock Safety is a connected public safety platform that combines cameras, sensors, drones and software to help authorized users find information relevant to an incident. Its best known product is the license plate reader, which records vehicle sightings at a specific place and time so investigators can search for relevant vehicle evidence. The range also includes video cameras, mobile security trailers, audio detection, and Drone as First Responder and Drone as Automated Security offerings. Software includes FlockOS, Flock911, Flock FreeForm, an Investigations Manager and a National LPR Network. The vendor sells to law enforcement, corrections, schools and campuses, parks, transportation agencies, fire and emergency services, and federal customers. It also serves residential communities such as homeowner associations, multifamily properties and places of worship, and businesses in retail, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, banking and manufacturing. Use cases listed include emergency response, event security, vehicle theft, package theft, trespassing, parking lot security and organized retail crime. The vendor states that the system does not continuously track people or vehicles, that customers cannot view a live video feed from a license plate camera, and that images are deleted after 7 days by default unless law or an authorized investigation requires otherwise. Searches are tied to a named user and recorded for review, data is encrypted, and customers own their data and decide what is shared. Pricing is not published in readable form. Buyers book a demo, and a Safe City Subscription is offered as a single contract and invoice covering every Flock solution.
