Deputy Chief Criado,
At Flock Safety, we believe that public safety technology only works when it
earns the trust of the communities it serves. That’s why we’re continually
improving how agencies can use and audit Flock data, building transparency
and accountability right into the product.
Starting this week, you’ll see a new step in every Flock LPR Search:
Offense Type Dropdown: Before running a search, users will be required to
select an offense type from a NIBRS-based list (expanded through customer
feedback and data analysis).
The “Search Reason” field will remain as an optional way to add additional
context.
Why It Matters:
• ✅ Greater Transparency: clearer insight into the purpose behind every
search.
• 🧭 Cleaner Audits: consistent, standardized data across your agency
and the agencies you share with.
• 🔍 Improved Filter Confidence: stronger assurance that searches align
with investigative needs and policy.
What’s Ahead:
We’re also building offense type reporting and search-usage analytics by
agency to provide deeper visibility and support data-driven accountability.
For more information, you can learn more in this doc.
