Every child in this video is home tonight because Flock gave officers the right information at the right second.
That’s the mission. That’s the whole company. I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Last night, a 3-month-old that was kidnapped in Marshall county was located with a Flock camera in a totally different county.
Crimes solved, missing people found. Every. Single. Day.
Awesome takedown video. Suspects assault and rob the victims, and then @SFPD uses @Flock_Safety ALPR + drones to locate and arrest them.
This tech is helping thousands of agencies, every day, keep Americans safe.
Last year, the city of Austin turned off their Flock cameras as the result of a targeted misinformation campaign.
This weekend, for nearly 24 hours, three suspects drove around Austin in stolen vehicles, undetected, conducting a shooting spree at 12 separate locations. They shot multiple people, houses, apartment buildings, businesses, and fire stations. They committed multiple robberies and car thefts during the spree. Despite a full manhunt involving 200 officers, with helicopter and K9 support, they weren't able to locate the suspects, and the spree continued.
Luckily, the suspects drove into the Flock-supported city of Manor, TX. Manor is a small city with ~20k residents, and a fraction of Austin's budget. What they do have is modern technology and the ability not to fall victim to misinformation campaigns.
After the suspects drove into Manor to continue their shooting spree, Manor PD located them almost immediately. The residents of Manor stayed safe.
This is a tale of two cities.
I love Austin. I have plenty of friends who live there. I myself almost moved there years ago. I'm glad that the shooting spree is over, but I just wish it never happened.
