Security Company Flock Safety Forms New Alliances with MPS and Raptor Technologies
Flock Safety's license plate recognition (LPR) cameras are proving to be a valuable asset in various partnerships, offering significant benefits in enhancing security, crime deterrence, and efficient vehicle monitoring.
In collaboration with K-12 schools and educational institutions, Flock Safety's LPR cameras contribute to secure campus environments by instantly capturing license plates and vehicle details. This enables real-time alerts of unknown or flagged vehicles, supporting rapid response to potential threats or unauthorized access without requiring constant monitoring. The proactive surveillance and evidence collection provided by these cameras enhance the safety of students and staff [1].
Partnering with Raptor Technologies, a school safety and visitor management solutions provider, Flock's LPR data can integrate into broader emergency response platforms. This enables more comprehensive situational awareness during incidents, aiding lockdown or evacuation procedures by identifying vehicles of concern or repeated visitors automatically. The partnership prioritizes student safety and efficient operations for school administrators [1].
Regarding Municipal Parking Service (MPS), Flock Safety’s LPR cameras enable efficient management of parking lots and streets by automating vehicle identification and monitoring. This aids in enforcing parking regulations, identifying stolen vehicles, or recognizing repeat offenders. The AI-powered cameras can be deployed quickly and cost-effectively, without complex infrastructure, making them flexible for municipal environments [1].
The partnership between Flock Safety and MPS could potentially expand the use of Flock's technology beyond educational institutions. MPS customers can now access its parking enforcement and payment software via Flock's LPR cameras, contributing to safety and overall efficiency in parking lots [1].
Flock's LPR cameras are solar-powered and LTE-connected, enabling them to be installed quickly and cost-effectively. The cameras form part of a connected ecosystem that integrates LPR data with video, gunshot detection, and drone systems to provide a seamless security infrastructure. Their AI alerts and cloud-based access facilitate fast investigations, usage flexibility, and ensure privacy compliance with encrypted storage and controlled data sharing governed by customer directives and strict legal adherence [1][4].
Moreover, the solution allows joint customers to share their LPR camera data directly with local law enforcement, enhancing overall site safety and reducing crime in the community. Flock's goal is to drive positive impact through public safety as well as improved quality of life for communities [1].
Joe Caldwell, founder of MPS, stated that together with Flock, they are enabling cities and businesses to use their existing infrastructure as a force multiplier. Bailey Quintrell, Chief Strategy Officer of Flock Safety, expressed that their LPR camera technology is best-in-class [1].
In summary, the benefits and applications of Flock Safety’s LPR cameras in these partnerships centre on instant vehicle identification and real-time alerts for enhanced safety (schools, MPS), integration with emergency and visitor management platforms (Raptor Technologies), flexible deployment suited to varied environments (schools, public spaces, parking lots), AI-powered analytics reducing the need for constant monitoring, data privacy and secure cloud storage ensuring trust and legal compliance, and the potential for community safety improvements [1][4].
