Leaked Flock webinar shows company demonstrating protest monitoring using a No Kings example

First reported: September 3, 2026 · 1 source

404 Media reported on a leaked Flock Safety webinar in which Caity Peak, the company's director of market management, walked law enforcement through using FlockOS Real-Time Crime Centers to monitor events ranging from parades to unexpected protests to disasters. In the demonstration, Peak framed the scenario around an incident commander working a hypothetical "No Kings" protest in Denver, describing how live video and other data could be reviewed together. Separately, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has reported finding more than 50 instances of law enforcement agencies searching Flock data for activity tied to protests and specific activist groups, including No Kings demonstrations in June and October.

Why this matters

The webinar shows how surveillance vendors present crowd-monitoring capabilities to police clients, raising questions for local officials about whether their Flock contracts and policies address First Amendment–protected assembly.
