Flock CEO: We haven’t ‘fired’ any police departments as customers

Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley has publicly addressed concerns regarding the company's surveillance contracts with law enforcement agencies. Despite growing public scrutiny and reports of potential misuse of surveillance technology, Langley confirmed that the company has not terminated its partnerships with any police departments. Flock Safety, which provides automated license plate recognition and other surveillance tools, has faced increasing pressure from privacy advocates and civil rights groups to implement stricter oversight of its law enforcement clients. Langley’s statement serves as a clarification of the company's current business stance, emphasizing that they continue to maintain their existing contracts despite the ongoing debate over the ethical implications of their technology. The company maintains that its tools are essential for public safety, though the tension between surveillance capabilities and privacy rights remains a significant point of contention in the tech industry.
