Our take
Public vehicle surveillance provides valuable insights to emergency services for the prevention of crime, but bringing information together to create leads is difficult. There's no standardised system for inter-city vehicle surveillance, and this makes it difficult for communities and law enforcement services to work together.
Flock provides surveillance equipment that aims to improve the abilities of law enforcement and homeowner associations to communicate data with each other. The company focuses on vehicle surveillance, innovating on existing technology by using machine learning to categorise vehicles by color, license plate, state, and other data points.
Whilst automated surveillance equipment is used daily within federal police forces, Flock builds technology systems that provide a means for smaller law enforcement agencies to quantify and share surveillance data easily. The company has raised strong funding to support the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities. But it has also faced a large dose of backlash from groups and individuals who are concerned about its capability for mass surveillance and the privacy of the data it collects.
