Flock Safety Highlights Law Enforcement Use of Its License Plate Recognition Technology

Flock Safety has shared an update.

The company highlighted a recent criminal investigation in which law enforcement used alerts from a Flock license plate recognition system to locate a missing Georgia man’s vehicle in Ohio. The vehicle was found without the missing individual, but the technology-assisted lead contributed to the arrest of two suspects following a police pursuit. The missing person was later discovered deceased at an abandoned residence. Flock Safety’s post also referenced its broader public-safety technology portfolio, including automated license plate recognition (ALPR), drones, and gunshot detection solutions.

For investors, this incident underscores the operational relevance and real-world use of Flock Safety’s technology by law enforcement agencies. Demonstrated effectiveness in serious criminal investigations can support the company’s value proposition to current and prospective municipal and law-enforcement customers, potentially aiding customer retention and new contract wins. Effective field performance in high-profile cases may also strengthen the company’s competitive position within the public-safety and security technology market, where evidence of measurable outcomes is a key purchasing criterion. While a single case does not materially change the financial outlook, repeated, documented successes of this type can help justify budget allocations for surveillance and detection systems, supporting longer-term revenue growth and opportunities to cross-sell adjacent offerings such as drone and gunshot detection platforms.
