About Flock
Flock Safety is the leading public safety platform designed to help communities prevent and reduce crime, not just respond to it. We partner with cities, law enforcement agencies, schools, businesses, and neighborhoods to deliver real-time, objective intelligence that helps stop crime quickly, responsibly, and transparently. Our technology captures objective evidence, such as vehicle and situational data, and applies privacy-first machine learning to surface actionable insights, so investigators can focus on facts, not guesswork. The result is faster resolutions, safer communities, and fewer intrusive policing practices. Unlike legacy systems built around force, hardware sprawl, or after-the-fact evidence review, Flock is purpose-built for crime prevention and accountability at scale. Our cloud-native platform is easy to deploy, simple to use, and designed with civil liberties at the core, including built-in data minimization, auditing, and user transparency. Why communities choose Flock Safety: Prevention-first public safety: stop crime earlier with shared, objective intelligence.
