Flock Safety makes cameras and software for public safety. Garrett Langley founded the company in 2017 with Matt Feury and Paige Todd. It is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Its best known product is a solar powered camera that reads license plates and records vehicle details, such as make and color. Police can search the data to find vehicles linked to crimes and get alerts on stolen cars. The company also sells gunshot detection, video, drones that respond to emergency calls, and software that brings these feeds together in one view.
Its customers include thousands of police departments, city governments, neighborhood associations and businesses across the United States. Flock has drawn criticism from civil liberties groups over privacy and how its data is shared between agencies. Some cities have ended or paused their contracts after such concerns. Garrett Langley is chief executive. The company has raised several funding rounds and remains privately held.
