Flock Safety provides a public safety operating system that helps communities and law enforcement work together to eliminate crime. The company's core product is a network of affordable, AI-powered license plate reading cameras that can identify vehicles and alert authorities to potential threats. Founded in 2017 by Garrett Langley after experiencing property crime, Flock Safety has rapidly grown to serve over 2,500 customers across 42 U.S. states, including police departments and neighborhood associations.
Langley's background as an electrical engineer allowed him to develop an innovative solution combining hardware and software to address a widespread issue that traditional security systems failed to solve. With a $3.5 billion valuation and backing from investors like Tiger Global, Flock Safety aims to expand its footprint and become the definitive platform for data-driven policing and community safety. The company's affordable subscription model and network effects create opportunities for further growth as more communities adopt its technology.
While Flock Safety presents an appealing opportunity for prospective employees to contribute to a mission-driven company, it must continue proving its value to customers and proactively addressing potential privacy concerns to maintain its positive brand image. The company's ability to navigate these challenges will determine its long-term success in a rapidly evolving industry.
