By January 1, every law enforcement agency using Flock must run audit tools that flag abnormal search behavior — with automatic lockouts pending review. Flock’s tool only watches Flock. CrossCheck gives your agency independent, cross-system misuse detection you own and control.

In a public announcement, Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley apologized for misuse of the company’s license plate reader network — “I’m sorry the system has failed you” — and made previously optional guardrails mandatory for all law enforcement customers by January 1:
Langley went further: he is publicly calling on state lawmakers to require agencies to audit their own use of the technology — and to impose stronger penalties on officers who misuse it.
“What’s changed for me is realizing that we have a responsibility, maybe an obligation even, to the communities we serve to set the standard.” Garrett Langley — CEO, Flock Safety (August 2026)

Flock’s Audit Assistance watches Flock searches. It doesn’t watch:
The Milwaukee case that drove this announcement — an officer who searched a partner’s location 124 times — is one system, one officer, one pattern. Misuse rarely stays in one system. An officer targeting someone hits multiple databases. Only an agency-owned, cross-system audit layer sees the whole pattern.
Ingest audit logs from Flock, NCIC, CAD/RMS, and other data systems. Flag frequency anomalies, repeated queries on one target, missing case numbers, off-hours activity — across everything.
When a flag fires, what happens next? CrossCheck includes case management for misuse review: documentation, disposition tracking, defensible records.
A public-facing dashboard module your council and community can see. Rebuild trust with evidence, not press releases.
Flock’s CEO is publicly lobbying state legislatures to mandate agency-level audits of surveillance technology. Over a dozen states already have ALPR statutes; more introduce bills every session. The agencies that build oversight before it’s required write the standard everyone else has to meet.
Your data is Criminal Justice Information. We treat it that way — architecturally, not aspirationally.
15 minutes. We map your current systems against your state’s requirements and the January 1 landscape, and show you exactly where the gaps are. No obligation.
