Documented Incident
Peachtree City police audit of Flock system leads to two officers leaving department
First reported: September 13, 2026 · 1 source
The Peachtree City Police Department said an internal audit of its use of Flock Safety license plate reader technology identified two separate incidents of alleged misuse, each flagged independently. The department said each officer involved was identified and referred to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for an independent criminal investigation. A department spokesman said neither individual remains employed with the agency. The GBI confirmed an investigation is underway but declined to identify those involved or provide details.
The case shows that audit logs of ALPR systems can surface improper searches, while also raising questions about how often such audits are conducted and what misuse might go undetected in agencies that do not perform them.
