Flock Safety Navigates Certification Process in Texas
Flock Safety, a leading provider of surveillance technology, is on track to receive full certification to operate in Texas, despite a recent setback from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
In a letter dated July 10, Texas DPS informed Flock Safety that it must cease operations due to operating without the proper license. While this development has raised concerns in the private sector, government and law enforcement agencies using Flock’s technology remain unaffected.
Addressing the issue, Flock Safety released a statement assuring customers that they are actively working towards obtaining the necessary certification. The company remains committed to serving communities across Texas, with a focus on enhancing public safety.
With its advanced license plate reader technology, Flock Safety has become a valuable tool for law enforcement agencies, assisting in solving crimes and enhancing security measures. Recent cases, such as the apprehension of Athir Murady and the investigation into the death of an Alief ISD teacher, showcase the impact of Flock’s surveillance capabilities.
As Flock Safety continues to expand its presence in Texas, concerns about privacy and data security have been raised by organizations like the ACLU. While Flock assures that its data is deleted after 30 days, further discussions are ongoing to establish legal safeguards and ensure accountability in the use of surveillance technology.
Despite the regulatory hurdles, Flock Safety remains dedicated to providing innovative solutions for safety and security in communities across Texas. Stay tuned for updates on Flock’s certification process and its ongoing efforts to uphold the highest standards of privacy and accountability.
