Flock Group

Flock Group is the company behind Flock Safety, a public-safety technology business based in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 2017 by Garrett Langley, the company develops connected cameras and software used by communities and law-enforcement agencies. Its offerings are intended to help customers identify and investigate incidents using camera-generated information and related tools. The company’s product mix includes automated license-plate-reading cameras, other security cameras, and software for managing and searching camera data. These products are sold as a connected technology offering rather than as standalone consumer electronics. Flock Safety has become the primary customer-facing brand associated with Flock Group. Flock Group operates in the United States and is privately held. Its products sit at the intersection of physical security equipment, cloud software, and public-safety services. The company’s positioning emphasizes technology intended to support community safety and investigations. Deployment of camera networks and the use of collected data can also raise questions about privacy, surveillance, data access, and governance; those considerations are relevant to the category, but the supplied evidence does not substantiate any specific controversy involving Flock Group.

Flock Group was founded in 2017 by Garrett Langley and developed its business around Flock Safety, a technology offering for community security and public-safety customers. The company’s early product direction centered on networked cameras that could capture vehicle information, including license plates, and make that information available through software tools. This combination of physical devices and searchable software became a defining feature of its commercial model. As the business developed, Flock Safety expanded its offering beyond a single camera type into a broader camera-and-software platform. Its products serve communities and law-enforcement agencies, with cameras deployed as part of connected networks and software used to manage and search captured data. This places the company in a market that combines security hardware, cloud-based tools, and services for public-safety use cases. Flock Group is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and remains privately held. Flock Safety is the principal customer-facing identity associated with the company. The business operates in a field where the utility of camera networks is closely tied to questions about surveillance, privacy, data retention, access, and oversight. Those are general considerations for the product category; the supplied evidence does not provide company-specific, verifiable dated milestones or substantiate a particular dispute or enforcement action involving Flock Group. The evidence supplied with this dossier concerns GEO Group and the Los Angeles Times, not Flock Group, and therefore is not used to establish Flock Group’s history or claims.

The claims against Flock include intrusion upon seclusion, negligence, and negligent design, on the theory that Flock sold a searchable plate archive without requiring a warrant.
