Flock Safety's Gun Violence Reduction Plan: A Multi-Faceted Approach to a Complex Issue

Gun violence affects communities across the U.S., with 1 in 7 people living near a recent gun-related homicide. At Flock Safety, we’re serious about addressing this issue—by thinking beyond the usual approaches. Our Gun Violence Reduction Plan offers a powerful, multi-layered strategy that combines cutting-edge technology to keep communities safer and help law enforcement fight gun crime more effectively.

What’s in the Plan?

Raven Gunshot Detection
Gunshot detection devices aren’t new. But while traditional systems rely on simple audio detection, Raven takes it further. This advanced system uses smart acoustic sensors and machine learning to pinpoint where shots are fired in real-time, sending instant alerts to law enforcement. And it’s affordable: far less than what is charged by other vendors. 

Condor Video Cameras
Condor cameras provide eyes on the scene, capturing crucial footage to help identify suspects and supply key evidence for investigations.

Falcon License Plate Recognition (LPR)
Then, there’s Falcon, the leading, trusted license plate recognition technology that is being used in more than 5,000 communities nationwide. It tracks vehicles connected to gun-related crimes, making it easier to identify suspects and uncover patterns in criminal activity.

Why It Works So Well

The real power of our plan is in how all these components work together. By integrating gunshot detection, video footage, and LPR data, Flock Safety creates a 360-degree view of gun violence incidents. This multi-faceted approach helps law enforcement:

  • Respond quickly and accurately to gunfire
  • Identify suspects and vehicles involved in the crime
  • Gather crucial evidence for ongoing investigations
  • Spot patterns in criminal activity
  • Actively deter future gun violence

Proof It Works

Flock Safety’s plan isn’t just theory—it’s been tested in real-life situations. In Chesapeake, Virginia, our system helped police respond to a shooting in just two minutes. That fast action enabled them to provide aid and track down suspects, showing just how life-saving our technology can be.

Affordable and Effective

Not only does Flock Safety’s plan deliver results, but it’s also cost-effective. By bundling Raven, Condor, and Falcon into one package, we offer significant savings over buying these tools separately. This makes it accessible for communities of all sizes, regardless of budget.

The Bottom Line

Flock Safety’s Gun Violence Reduction Plan goes beyond traditional gunshot detection with a complete, integrated, and affordable solution to one of today’s toughest challenges. By leveraging technology and supporting law enforcement, we’re helping reduce gun crime and make communities across the country safer.
