Leveraging Technology to Strengthen Inter-Agency Collaboration and Address Crime in Albany

Albany, a city with a small-town atmosphere but big-city challenges, has found innovative solutions to address its unique needs. In an effort to navigate the complexities of growth, crime prevention, and a transient population, the Albany Police Department has embraced Flock technology to improve public safety. Leveraging features like Hot List alerts for wanted vehicles and gunshot detection, Flock has become a “game changer” for the department. Flock has empowered officers to respond more effectively, strengthen inter-agency collaboration, and deepen trust within the community. This is ultimately shaping a safer Albany while, preserving the values that make the city unique.
