Flock Safety's HIDDEN Headquarters and What We Found

Our Take

Credit where it's due: Flock Off and journalist Ben Jordan did the unglamorous legwork of actually showing up and asking where the company that photographs your license plate calls home. That a surveillance vendor with contracts touching thousands of police departments moved its headquarters without bothering to announce it isn't some minor corporate footnote — it's a pattern. Flock Safety has built a business on being everywhere in your community while staying as invisible as possible about its own operations.

This kind of on-the-ground reporting matters because Flock's public image runs almost entirely on carefully managed press releases and law enforcement testimonials. When a company that vacuums up billions of vehicle scans a month can't be bothered to update the public on where it physically operates, it's fair to ask what else isn't being disclosed — about data retention, about who gets access to those scans, about audits nobody outside the company ever sees.

We'll keep flagging reporting like this because transparency has to cut both ways. If Flock expects your town to know exactly where its cameras hang, the public deserves the same clarity about the company itself. Check the map to see what's already watching your street, and hit take action if you want to push back.
