Capabilities and expansion
What the records show Flock can offer
Product capability is not the same as an ACSO license or deployment. Each item below is labeled according to the evidence actually produced.
Fixed ALPR and Vehicle Fingerprint
The released records describe still-image ALPR reads, searchable vehicle characteristics, alerts, sharing, and historical searches. Exact image resolution, format, compression, and capture method remain unanswered.
Live Video and Traffic Analytics
A July 2025 recap offered live video on existing LPR poles and described near-real-time traffic analysis. The production does not show that ACSO purchased or enabled either product.
Flock Nova
Flock described Nova as combining LPR, video, CAD, RMS, public-record, and other investigative data. A demo was discussed, and a later account email referenced previous notes of ACSO interest.
Other products and integrations
Records reference possible in-car LPR integration and contain marketing or shared-network names associated with products such as Condor, Raven, PTZ, and VMS. Those references do not prove ACSO licensing or use.

What remains unresolved
- What contractual or legal basis supported the 2023–2024 Flock access and searches.
- Which competitor the Sheriff said was researched and what comparison was performed.
- How Policy 473’s minimum one-year storage language is reconciled with Flock’s 30-day default.
- Which sharing relationships were accepted, active, used or later revoked.
