FLOCK SAFETY EXPLORES POTENTIAL SALE AMID SCRUTINY

The move comes as Flock Safety confronts mounting concerns about its automated license plate recognition cameras and their deployment across U.S. neighborhoods. Privacy advocates and local officials have raised questions about data security, access controls, and potential abuse of the network. Flock Safety operates one of the largest private camera networks in the country, with thousands of devices installed in residential areas and businesses. The company has marketed its system to law enforcement and private users as a crime-fighting tool. By engaging advisers early in the process, Flock Safety is laying groundwork for a potential transaction, though sources did not indicate whether the company is actively soliciting bids or simply exploring options. The timing suggests the company may be seeking to address reputational challenges through a change of ownership or strategic direction. No potential buyers have been identified at this stage.
