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 Safety 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 Safety builds technology systems that provide a means for smaller law enforcement agencies to quantify and share surveillance data easily. It's caught on too, with a funding round of $275 million awarded in 2025 that will be used to expand its manufacturing capabilities. lock Safety, a U.S. startup developing surveillance technology, has raised $275 million in new funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, as it invests in a manufacturing facility and expands into drone products, the company told Reuters. funding behind it, This data can then be automatically processed to help develop leads, a time-consuming process that would usually have to be completed manually.
