Flock Safety

aid: flock-safety
name: Flock Safety
description: 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.
