Ideal Customer
- Flock Safety's primary sweet spot is small-to-mid-sized municipalities, cities, counties, and law enforcement agencies — particularly those with 51 to 1,000 employees — seeking a unified, subscription-based public safety platform.
- However, the company also serves large enterprises and major metro areas, with customers ranging from small HOAs and school districts to large cities like San Francisco and state agencies like the California Highway Patrol.
Key Differentiators
- Flock Safety's primary differentiator is its scale: it operates the nation's largest agency-controlled LPR network, described as ten times larger than the nearest competitor, enabling cross-jurisdictional vehicle evidence sharing across 49 states.
- Its 'Safety-as-a-Service' subscription model bundles hardware, installation, maintenance, software, and upgrades into a single annual fee, eliminating upfront capital costs and allowing agencies to deploy up to 20x more cameras versus legacy solutions at the same budget.
Industries Served
- Flock Safety serves a broad range of public and private sector industries, with government administration and law enforcement representing its dominant verticals — over 82% of tracked customers are government entities.
- Beyond law enforcement, Flock serves K-12 school districts, retail (including seven of the ten largest U.S. shopping malls), healthcare (serving 10 of the 40 largest U.S. health systems), homeowners associations (HOAs), commercial real estate, logistics and warehousing, multifamily housing, construction sites, car dealerships, and municipalities seeking smart city deployments.
Service Coverage
- Flock Safety operates exclusively in the United States, with its platform active in 49 states for its National LPR Network.

Offerings
13 offeringsAlert Response Service
Flock's optional Alert Response Service has trained agents who monitor live alerts from cameras and mobile trailers, verify threats such as people detected in restricted areas or after hours, issue audio warnings, and escalate to law enforcement or security as needed. It is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to adding on-site security staff. The service is available as an add-on to the standard Flock subscription.
Audio Detection
Flock's Audio Detection system detects gunfire, street takeovers (sideshows), severe crashes, and fireworks using event-triggered acoustic sensors that filter noise and send verified alerts in real time. Audio alerts are linked with nearby LPR data and video footage through FlockOS to provide teams with full context for faster response. The system includes real-time event logging, policy-based alert rules, public dashboards, and tamper detection.
Flock DFR (Drone as First Responder)
Flock DFR is a fully automated Drone as First Responder system that launches drones in response to 911 calls, LPR hits, or gunshot detection events, reaching scenes in an average of 86 seconds. The system streams HD video with thermal, night-vision, and zoom capabilities to first responders and dispatch before officers arrive on scene. It includes the Flock Alpha drone capable of 60 mph speed and 2,000-foot license plate reading range, plus Flock Aerodome software for flight control, airspace awareness, mission reporting, and FAA compliance support.
Flock FreeForm
Flock FreeForm is a natural-language AI search tool that lets authorized users search video and LPR evidence by typing plain-language descriptions such as vehicle damage details or clothing descriptions, without using facial recognition or biometrics. It unifies video and LPR search results in a single interface and supports real-time alerts when potential matches appear, helping investigators and security teams reduce manual footage review time. FreeForm supports permission-based cross-agency and cross-organization camera sharing where enabled.
Flock Safety Platform
The Flock Safety Platform is the unified cloud-based platform underlying all Flock hardware and software products, providing customers with access to LPR data, video feeds, alerts, audit logs, and agency-controlled data sharing settings. It includes built-in privacy controls, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, mandatory multi-factor authentication, and per-search audit logging for accountability. The platform connects law enforcement, businesses, neighborhoods, and public agencies across public and private sectors.
Flock911
Flock911 streams live 911 call audio and real-time transcripts to RTCC operators, patrol officers, and Drone as First Responder pilots through the existing Flock Safety Platform with no new app required. It delivers caller location data and supports post-call playback and full transcripts for report writing and investigations. Calls are filtered by patrol vehicle location or zone geofencing so officers only receive relevant calls within their area.
FlockOS
FlockOS is a real-time crime center (RTCC) platform that unifies LPR, video, drones, gunshot detection, CAD, RMS, and 911 data onto a single geospatial map accessible from a command center, laptop, or mobile device. It connects over 4,800 agencies and 5,000 neighborhoods and businesses, enabling cross-agency data sharing, real-time alerts, and coordinated response across public and private safety teams. The platform supports unlimited users and integrates with third-party CAD and RMS systems.
Investigations Manager
Investigations Manager is a Flock platform tool that automates the collection of footage, LPR data, and related evidence into one place so detectives can spend less time compiling evidence and more time solving cases. It is designed to help build stronger cases faster by centralizing investigative data pulls within the Flock ecosystem. The product is listed as a distinct software offering within the Flock Safety Platform suite.
License Plate Readers (LPR)
Flock's LPR cameras capture license plates and vehicle characteristics such as make, color, and body type to help generate investigative leads. The system connects to the nation's largest LPR network spanning 49 states, enabling cross-agency vehicle evidence sharing and real-time alerts for vehicles matching hot lists or NCIC records. Multiple camera variants are available including LPR Pro, Standard LPR, Wide-Range LPR, Long-Range LPR, Flex LPR, and LPR Trailers.
Mobile Security Trailers
Solar-powered, LTE-connected mobile trailers that provide on-demand 24/7 video coverage and crime deterrence without requiring power, Wi-Fi, or permits. Each trailer includes two PTZ video cameras, one panoramic video camera, flashing deterrence lights, and a talk-down speaker, and integrates seamlessly with LPR and the Flock Safety Platform. They are designed for parking lots, construction sites, retail centers, public events, and other locations requiring flexible security coverage.
National LPR Network
Flock's National LPR Network is the nation's largest agency-controlled LPR network connecting agencies across 49 states for secure cross-jurisdiction vehicle evidence sharing and real-time alerts. Agencies maintain control over how their data is shared and accessed, and the network is described as 10 times larger than the nearest competitor. It enables law enforcement and community partners to collaborate on investigations, recover stolen vehicles, and locate missing persons across jurisdictions.
Safe City Subscription
The Safe City Subscription is a bundled procurement option that provides access to every Flock solution under one contract and one invoice for cost-effective community-wide deployment. It is designed for municipalities and public sector customers who want to consolidate multiple Flock products into a single agreement. The subscription covers hardware, software, maintenance, and support across all included Flock solutions.
