Flock Safety Ethical Creed

A. At Flock Safety, we believe that:

1. Crime goes unsolved due to lack of accurate, actionable, and objective evidence and limited resources
2. Solving crime deters future crime.
3. Transparency and accountability build trust between communities, government, and law enforcement – making communities safer and more equitable. 
4. Democratic decision making and local autonomy should be encouraged and respected. 
5. With the right technical and policy safeguards, public safety technology will not infringe on constitutionally protected rights. ‍
6. Public safety technology that efficiently captures objective, accurate evidence and supports transparency and accountability makes communities safer. 

B. Therefore, Flock Safety builds public safety technology that:

1. Captures information that can be used as accurate and objective evidence;
2. Is efficient and user friendly;
3. Safeguards against misuse, abuse, and infringement on constitutionally-protected rights; and 
4. Complies with local, state, and federal laws.

C. Flock Safety will not adopt technology that we determine has significant potential for any of the following, or lacks a technical or policy solution to mitigate these risks: 

1. Illegality;
2. Inaccurate results;
3. Subjective results;
4. Misuse and abuse;
5. Disparate impact on historically marginalized groups; or
6. Infringement on constitutionally protected rights.
