Crime doesn’t stop at city limits and law enforcement technology shouldn’t either. When it comes to solving cross-jurisdictional crime, speed, coordination, and real-time intelligence are critical. That’s where Flock Safety’s fully integrated platform stands apart. By combining License Plate Recognition (LPR), video, audio, drone-as-a-first-responder (DFR) capabilities, and 911 audio on a single system, Flock empowers agencies to respond faster, smarter, and with greater impact across boundaries.

‍One Platform, Full Visibility, Open Integration

Law enforcement agencies using other systems must manage multiple platforms, each with separate logins for LPR, video, and drone footage. That fragmentation wastes time when seconds matter. Flock Safety brings everything together in one intuitive platform: LPR, video, audio, and drone data, all in one pane of glass. Whether law enforcement is looking for a stolen vehicle across county lines or deploying a drone to an active scene, FlockOS® gives officers instant access to the full picture without switching systems or waiting for delayed updates.

Flock LPRs don’t just record plate data—they actively alert officers the moment a vehicle of interest is detected. Whether it’s a stolen car, a missing person, or a suspect wanted across multiple jurisdictions, agencies receive real-time alerts that help them act immediately. Cross-jurisdictional pursuits become coordinated efforts instead of missed opportunities.

Unlike other vendors with closed platforms that don’t integrate with others, Flock Safety fosters an open and collaborative environment. Flock technology willingly and easily integrates with other vendors, including competitors, to meet each agency’s unique needs. 

Routing: Get to the Scene Faster

Every second counts when responding to a developing situation. With real-time routing integrated into Flock’s platform, officers can navigate directly to a sighting or incident with the most efficient path—reducing response times and improving chances of a successful resolution. Flock’s technology ensures no agency is left piecing together clues while valuable leads slip away.

Advanced Search Capabilities

Flock Safety’s advanced search tools go beyond plate numbers. Thanks to Vehicle Fingerprint® technology, agencies can search for vehicles by make, model, color, license plate state, unique features, and even time and location. That means if law enforcement only has a partial plate or a vehicle description, they can still find critical matches —without having to submit complicated queries or dig through multiple sources.

Drone as a First Responder (DFR) Integration

Flock’s Aerodome integration takes real-time response to new heights—literally. With DFR, drones can be dispatched automatically to a location flagged by an LPR hit, 911 call, or gunshot detection alert. Agencies gain eyes on the scene in minutes, providing crucial situational awareness before officers arrive. And because it’s part of the same platform, drone footage, LPR hits, and bodycam video can all be correlated instantly.

For example, during a busy Lunar New Year Festival in Alhambra, CA, the Alhambra Police Department’s DFR pilot deployed a drone in search of a missing elderly woman who was reportedly carrying a red bag– an item nearly everyone at the festival was carrying, as part of the holiday tradition. 

Using DFR, the department located the missing woman within just 7 minutes of the 911 call, using minimal resources. “Without the drone’s aerial view, it would have been like trying to find a needle in a haystack,” according to Alhambra PD’s Lt. John Lee.

911 Audio: Direct from Call to Response

Integrated 911 audio within FlockOS® adds another layer of real-time intelligence. Dispatchers and responding officers can access critical caller information, listen to active call recordings, and adjust their tactics accordingly—all without having to request separate access from another system.

Cross-Jurisdictional Crime Solved in Real Time

Real-time alerts, seamless routing, powerful search, integrated DFR capabilities, and live 911 audio all come together to deliver a true cross-jurisdictional force multiplier. It’s not just about knowing more; it’s about acting faster, collaborating better, and closing cases that once seemed impossible. For example, after a police officer in Oklahoma was shot, law enforcement agencies mobilized across state lines: Armed Suspect Caught After Officer Shot in Oklahoma.

Flock Safety was built to break down barriers between tools, agencies, and communities, solving cross-jurisdictional crime in real time.
