Healthcare Clinic Enhances Security & Reduces Crime with Flock Perimeter Protection Solution

A major U.S. healthcare clinic facing a surge in property crimes, including vehicle break-ins and auto theft, sought a comprehensive security solution. 

In June 2024, they implemented Flock Safety’s perimeter protection solution, including LPR cameras, Video cameras and Gunshot detection, across multiple hospital campuses to proactively deter and respond to criminal activity.

Proactive Crime Deterrence and Incident Reduction

Upon implementation, the clinic immediately detected criminal vehicles entering its campuses, including those with stolen vehicles or plates, at an average rate of 3.2 alerts per day. With the full deployment of Flock’s technology, the rate of known criminal vehicles entering the campuses decreased to 1.03 alerts per day, demonstrating a significant reduction in criminal activity.

​​Strategic Expansion and Scalable Security Solutions

Starting with a single hospital location, the healthcare clinic quickly expanded to four locations as initial results showed substantial crime reduction. The success led to continued growth, now protecting 10+ locations with a combination of LPR, video, and gunshot detection, while also evaluating the implementation of FlockOS, Flock Safety’s software platform that unifies all integrated security solutions into a single, streamlined interface.

Impact by Location

The healthcare clinic observed significant reductions in property crime incidents across multiple campuses:

• Hospital 1: Decreased average incidents by 93.3%
• Hospital 2: Reduced incidents by 88%
• Hospital 3: Lowered incidents by 77%
• Hospital 4: Achieved a 10% reduction in property crimes

Empowering Safety and Boosting Staff Loyalty

The deployment of Flock’s system not only deterred criminal activity but also contributed to a safer environment for staff, patients, and visitors. By protecting employee property and enhancing perceptions of safety, the healthcare clinic supported employee retention and satisfaction, recognizing the link between workplace safety and reduced employee turnover.

Looking Ahead and On-going Expansion

The Flock perimeter protection solution has proven highly effective in reducing crime and increasing safety across multiple hospital campuses. As the healthcare clinic continues to expand its security network, it is now exploring the integration of FlockOS for even greater operational efficiency and proactive crime prevention.

With this scalable and proactive approach, the healthcare clinic sets a new standard for safety and security in healthcare environments, ensuring a secure space for patients, employees, and visitors alike.
