Future-Proof Technology: How Flock Safety Continues to Evolve with Public Safety

Public safety challenges are constantly evolving, and the technology used to solve them needs to evolve even faster. That’s why Flock Safety is built differently. Flock’s technology is future-proof by design: always up to date, never obsolete, and ready to meet the demands of tomorrow’s policing. Best of all, ongoing innovation and upgrades are included as part of a subscription—no hidden fees, no outdated equipment, no falling behind.

A System That’s Evolved with the Job

Flock Safety’s journey isn’t defined by one product launch. It’s defined by continuous innovation, shaped directly through years of partnership with agencies across the country. Every device, feature, and service Flock offers exists because real officers, detectives, and public safety teams reported to Flock what they needed. Flock listens, iterates, and continues to deliver. 

‍Take a look at how far Flock has come with a timeline of innovation:

2017 – Built LPR Camera prototype // Founded Flock Safety

2018 – First crime solved // First news coverage

2019 – Jersey Village, TX – first Police customer

2020 – First AMBER alert solved in GA

2021 – Gunshot Detection launched

2022 – Lowe’s – first major big box retailer customer

2023 – FlockOS + Fixed Video Camera + Mobile app + Long Range LPR Camera launched

2024 – FlockOS 911 + Solar-powered Fixed Video Camera launched

2025 – Mobile App Plate Scanner, LPR on DFR, & LPR Trailers launched

This isn’t Flock’s first product—it’s Flock’s fiftieth iteration. And every upgrade, every expansion, and every improvement was driven by one goal: solving crime easier, faster, and making it safer for law enforcement officers and the communities they protect.

Always Up to Date, Never Obsolete

With Flock, a law enforcement agency’s system never stagnates. New features, upgrades, and software improvements roll out regularly, which are automatically included in a subscription. There's no need for costly hardware replacements or stressful version updates. Flock builds for continuous improvement, ensuring customers are always equipped with the latest and best technology to stay ahead of crime.

Nighttime Performance That Doesn’t Quit

Public safety doesn’t stop when the sun goes down and neither does Flock technology. Flock’s cameras are engineered with optimized infrared to read plates clearly in low-light and nighttime conditions, giving officers critical intelligence 24/7. Where many DIY or competing LPR systems falter at night, Flock has evolved to deliver crisp, actionable reads, maintaining an agency’s effectiveness around the clock.

Built for the Future, Focused on Today

Flock’s future-proof design isn’t just about adding new bells and whistles. It’s about solving real problems in the field, both now and tomorrow. With Flock, agencies gain access to cutting-edge capabilities like real-time alerts, drone-as-a-first-responder (DFR) integration, and seamless data-sharing across jurisdictions, all tied into a single, intuitive platform.

Flock technology is built for under-resourced, over-tasked departments who can’t afford to waste time or fall behind. Choosing Flock Safety means choosing a partner who grows with an agency, anticipates the agency’s needs, and evolves alongside the challenges an agency faces.

Ready to trade outdated, piecemeal technology for a solution that stays ahead of crime? With Flock, an agency is always ready for what’s next—no replacements, no downtime, and no surprises.
