Flock Safety, a company known for its network of license plate recognition cameras used by law enforcement, is reportedly considering a sale. According to sources familiar with the matter, the company has engaged in preliminary discussions with outside advisers about a potential transaction, though no final decision has been made.
The exploration of a sale comes as Flock faces significant scrutiny over privacy concerns and alleged misuse of its surveillance data. The company has recently been offering voluntary buyouts to its employees as it contends with contract cancellations from some municipalities and increased costs associated with vandalism of its cameras. Potential buyers for Flock's technology and network could include competitors in the law enforcement technology sector like Axon Enterprise or Motorola Solutions.
