On Friday, December 12, 2025, around 8am, officers with Greenville Police Department received an alert from the FLOCK Gunshot Alert Detection that showed there were multiple gunshots around Ashburn and Kirkland Streets. As officers were approaching the area, they began receiving calls from citizens that a black male occupying a black SUV was shooting in the area. A quick response from the officers led to them locating the SUV and making an arrest for the shooting. The FLOCK Safety Gunshot Detection System alerted police and dispatchers in sufficient time to the approximate area, along with calls from the community, that helped officers make an arrest that quickly closed out a case.
This is one of many recent cases that FLOCK Safety has helped law enforcement solve since its inception. Chief Marcus Turner says, “FLOCK Safety has given our department another tool that will assist in solving crimes in our community and can substitute the disadvantages of current staffing issues that plague law enforcement in today’s time. We still ask the community that if you SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. We all have a responsibility in keeping our community safe.”
The Greenville Police Department has arrested an individual of Greenville, who currently sits in the Washington County Regional Correctional Facility on a charge of Possession of Firearm by a Convicted Felon, along with several other misdemeanor charges.
