Bring Flock to Your Community

Flock Safety helps residential communities and law enforcement work together to capture the objective evidence needed to reduce crime rates, improve neighborhood security, and protect home values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Flock Safety?

Flock Safety is a public safety operating system that helps communities and law enforcement in thousands of cities work together to eliminate crime, protect privacy, and mitigate bias. We build devices that capture objective evidence and use machine learning to detect and deliver unbiased investigative leads to law enforcement. Flock Safety communities have reported crime reductions of up to 70 percent.

What kind of camera will be installed in my community?

The The Flock Safety Sparrow® is a license plate reading (LPR) camera designed to prevent and reduce crime in your community. Unlike doorbell cameras or traditional home security systems, the Flock Safety Sparrow® camera works 24/7 to capture license plates of vehicles that enter your neighborhood, which are the #1 piece of evidence that local law enforcement needs to investigate an incident.

How do LPR cameras work?

Flock Safety LPR cameras are designed to take pictures of the back of any vehicle to capture the license plate. Then, if there is an incident, the Flock administrator can pull the footage and share with law enforcement.

Who can access Flock data?

Flock Safety’s customers own 100% of their data and determine who has access. Flock Safety will never share or sell the data, per our privacy policy.

How does Flock protect my privacy?

Flock Safety has strict measures in place to protect resident privacy. Here are a few of the ways we protect privacy:

• The images and data collected are stored for 30 days by default and are accessible only by limited members of the board. Customers own all of their data — Flock will never share or sell data with third parties. The customer is the only one to determine who has access to the footage.

• The Flock Safe List feature allows neighborhood residents to register their license plate number and opt to be eliminated from captured footage. This way, police can easily separate residents from non-residents and allow residents with privacy concerns to opt out of the system altogether.
