Food Manufacturer Sought a New Security Solution After Receiving Threats From a Former Employee

A pet food manufacturing company with multiple state-of-the-art facilities nationwide places employee safety at the heart of its operations. When a former employee made verbal threats and was found to have taken unauthorized active shooter training courses, the company's Safety Director took swift action. Partnering with local law enforcement for site monitoring resolved the immediate threat, but the incident highlighted the need for stronger security measures. Inspired by local law enforcement's success with Flock Safety’s LPR cameras, the company’s leadership recommended adopting the technology to enhance safety and prevent future incidents.

Proactive Threat Detection: LPR Cameras Deter Crime and Minimize Property Damage

To prioritize employee safety and proactively detect threats, they installed 12 cameras across six locations. The impact was immediate. At the site of the previous incident, a potential threat arose again—but this time, Flock's system eliminated the need for law enforcement involvement, saving valuable time and resources. With customized alerts in place, the team remained prepared, though thankfully, the individual never returned.

“Peace of mind. I can’t highlight that enough for me. It’s as simple as putting a license plate in the system versus spending an hour or two talking to two or three different people, plant managers, and safety managers planning and communicating our safety strategy for bringing law enforcement on site for however long it takes.”“It’s another tool for your toolbox. It’s there to assist with suspicious vehicles or when incidents occur. It helps make things easier. And depending on the incident, it definitely pays for itself.”
Safety Director, Pet Food Manufacturing Company

The Safety Director shared another incident involving a truck driver who repeatedly brought "questionable" damaged trailers to their site, causing nearly $15,000 in property damage. By leveraging custom hot list alerts and their internal camera system, they tracked the driver's actions, caught him in the act, and prevented further incidents. As a result, the driver is now banned from the property.

Whether it’s dealing with disgruntled employees, hostile threats, or deterring property damage, the company is grateful to have Flock Safety as a security resource.

By integrating Flock Safety’s LPR cameras, the pet food manufacturer has not only bolstered its proactive security measures but also strengthened its partnership with local law enforcement. This innovative approach has enhanced their ability to respond swiftly to potential threats, deter property damage, and prioritize employee safety. As the company continues to evolve, their investment in advanced technology reflects a forward-thinking commitment to creating a safer and more resilient workplace.
