What Safety Means to You: Building Community on Your Terms

Public safety isn’t one-size-fits-all. From a neighborhood in Atlanta to a small town in Iowa to a sprawling coastal city in California, the needs, values, and definitions of safety look—and feel—different. At Flock Safety, we’ve built our mission around that reality.

Context on your terms isn’t just about offering real-time insights or plugging into the latest public safety tech. It’s about asking first: What does your community need to thrive? And then building around that answer.

Listening First, Then Building

While many vendors arrive with a one-size-fits-all blueprint, we start with a question: What does your city want to become?

Our product roadmap and customer partnerships begin with understanding what matters—not just to law enforcement, but to residents, business owners, elected officials, and grassroots stakeholders. We don’t believe our job is to dictate how public safety should look. Our job is to support your vision of it.

That’s why we build with and for multiple voices:

  • Law enforcement, to help solve crime faster and more effectively.

  • Communities, to ensure technology enhances trust, not erodes it.

  • Elected officials, to align safety innovation with public accountability.

  • Businesses and local leaders, to ensure safer spaces enable economic growth.

  • Community advocates and grassroots leaders, to align long-term progress with lived experiences.

The future of safety should be designed with everyone at the table. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.

The FlockOS Philosophy: Open, Connected, Collaborative

Today’s cities are complex. So are the problems they face. That’s why Flock OS isn’t a closed system or rigid command center—it’s an open ecosystem designed to flex around you.

  • Need integration with other public safety tools like Mark43 or FirstTwo? We support that.

  • Want to streamline video feeds from multiple systems into one pane of glass? We enable that.

  • Trying to modernize without completely replacing your current tech stack? We work with what you already trust.

Whether you’re operating from a Real Time Crime Center or equipping patrol officers with insights in the field, FlockOS and Flock’s ecosystem ensures your people, platforms, and partners can collaborate effortlessly.

This is context on your terms: fast, flexible, and fully integrated.

Not Just Crime Solving—City Building

Yes, we build tools to solve crime. But we also recognize that true community safety goes beyond catching suspects. It’s about:

  • Safe traffic flows

  • Efficient parking

  • Public infrastructure that supports access and mobility

  • Businesses that feel confident opening their doors

  • Residents who feel not just safe—but seen and heard

We’re helping cities move beyond reactive systems to build resilient, thriving ecosystems. And it starts by treating safety as a shared civic priority—not just a policing function.

Your Policies, Your Data, Your Decision

America isn’t homogenous. Our diversity—in geography, governance, and culture—is a strength. That’s why we support democratic authorization as a foundational value.

Whether your city wants a 7-day data retention policy or a 30-day standard—we support that.

Whether you prioritize rapid alert sharing or opt for local-only access—we enable that.

Your data belongs to you. Flock will never dictate how it’s stored, shared, or governed. Instead, we build tools that adapt to your regulations, your ordinances, and your community’s will.

Because at the end of the day, you are the expert on your city. We’re just here to help you unlock the clarity and collaboration to protect it—on your terms.

Safety, Powered by Partnership

We know we’re not the experts in crime solving. That title belongs to you—the officers, the analysts, the command staff, the city planners, and the community voices shaping tomorrow’s public safety infrastructure.

Our job is to listen deeply, build openly, and deliver flexibly—so that whatever safety looks like in your city, Flock is ready to support it.

This is what context on your terms really means.

And we’re just getting started.
