Flock Safety

Flock Safety is a public safety technology company whose platform connects communities, businesses, and law enforcement through crime detection, investigation, and response tools built around license plate recognition (LPR) cameras, audio detection, video, and the FlockOS situational-awareness platform. Its v3 API Platform (api.flocksafety.com) lets approved customer organizations and third-party developers build "Flock Apps" that bring data in (register hardware as devices, ingest vehicle images for detection, push CAD events, alerts, and geolocation telemetry, manage custom hotlists) and connect Flock data out (retrieve devices, look up license plate reads, and subscribe to real-time LPR hotlist alert webhooks). The APIs use OAuth 2.0 with machine-level (client_credentials) and recommended user-level (authorization_code) flows, role-based access control, audit logging, and data-stewardship requirements.

Flock Safety publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Alerts API, CAD Events API, Custom Hotlists API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Company, American Dynamism, Public Safety, Law Enforcement, and License Plate Recognition.

The Flock Safety catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Flock Safety’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, changelog, pricing, and 29 more developer resources.
