Executive Summary
Flock Safety provides a network of sensors, cameras, and drones, orchestrated by its Flock OS, to help law enforcement increase the probability of catching criminals, which the CEO argues is the primary deterrent to crime.
The company navigates the privacy vs.
security debate by implementing a default 30-day data retention policy, encouraging legislative oversight, and focusing exclusively on partnerships with local law enforcement rather than the federal government.
CEO Garrett Langley discusses the significant challenges of onshoring manufacturing for complex hardware like drones, citing difficulties in sourcing even basic components like bolts in the US and predicting a decade-long transition for a fully domestic supply chain.
Flock's partnership with Amazon was terminated following a controversial Super Bowl ad run by Amazon's Ring, but Langley believes a future partnership is inevitable due to their shared focus on public safety.
