I'm putting together a regular update to keep you informed on new Flock capabilities, key company developments, and real #SolvedStories from agencies across the country. The goal is to help your department drive better outcomes from your existing deployment and give you concise examples you can share with city leadership and other stakeholders.
Flock Safety now works with 5,000+ law enforcement agencies, 6,000+ communities, and 1,000+ businesses, using license plate recognition (LPR), video, audio detection, drones, and software to help reduce crime and improve community safety.
Across this network, Flock is helping solve hundreds of cases every day and is deployed in thousands of cities across more than 40 states.¹
The Flock platform includes:
Cameras & devices:
Falcon LPR, Falcon SR/LR, Falcon Flex, Condor video, Raven audio detection, mobile security trailers, and Flock drones.
Software:
FlockOS, Flock911, Flock Nova, FreeForm AI Search, Investigations Manager, and the National LPR Network.
In Flock’s Q2 2025 law enforcement product launch, the company announced plans for an optional software upgrade that will allow compatible Flock LPR cameras to provide live video context around plate reads without any additional hardware cost to agencies. This is designed to give investigators visual context (for example, which of several matching vehicles is actually fleeing a scene) without adding new poles, power, or fiber.
Flock is phasing this capability in carefully and has delayed broad rollout to address permitting and policy requirements, so availability and timing may vary by jurisdiction. For the original announcement, see:
Flock Safety’s Q2 2025 Law Enforcement Product Launch Summary
Agencies can bundle a solar‑powered video camera with an existing LPR install, providing two separate streams - plates and broader scene context - while keeping deployment fast and budget‑predictable. This setup is particularly helpful when you need broader situational awareness in addition to investigative plate data.
Common use cases include:
As with any video deployment, availability and deployment details may depend on local permitting and site conditions. More context on the bundled offering is included in the Q2 launch recap:
Flock Safety’s Q2 2025 Law Enforcement Product Launch Summary
Flock's dual‑lens PTZ camera delivers both a tight zoom and a wide‑angle view simultaneously from a single solar‑powered, LTE‑connected device. Command staff get evidentiary detail and full‑scene situational awareness from the same camera, without building new infrastructure.
This configuration is especially effective for parks, trails, and remote areas where running power or fiber is cost‑prohibitive, and for locations where you want a more flexible, re‑positionable view of activity. More details on the capability and deployment model are available in the Q2 launch summary:

Flock FreeForm allows investigators to search Flock data using natural language - for example, “blue sedan with a missing hubcap” - across owned and shared Flock cameras, with unified results for video and LPR in one view. On enabled video feeds, FreeForm can search for people characteristics (such as clothing and carried items) and supports real‑time alerts when there is a match.
Flock Nova serves as a data “brain” that brings CAD, RMS, jail, LPR, OSINT, and public records into one searchable workspace, acting like a virtual analyst for under‑resourced agencies. Nova helps connect the dots across systems and jurisdictions so officers, analysts, and command staff can move from first report to first lead much more quickly.
Together, these tools are designed to shorten time‑to‑lead, support higher clearance rates, and reduce the manual workload required to pull and correlate data across multiple systems.
Texas agencies continue to demonstrate measurable outcomes with Flock technology. Here are three recent success stories fr
