Since June 2025, the number of entities receiving data from Alpharetta police has grown by about 42 percent, and the number of entities sending data to them has grown by about 125 percent. And, according to documents obtained via public records requests from several other cities around the country, Alpharetta is far from alone in having an expansive and complicated data-sharing system, providing a potent example of how pervasive Flock\u2019s surveillance network has become.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">One of Flock\u2019s central selling points is its network of customers\u2014mostly, though not entirely, law enforcement agencies. If a criminal suspect crosses city, county, or perhaps state lines, Flock <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.flocksafety.com\/blog\/introducing-law-enforcement-network\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.flocksafety.com\/blog\/introducing-law-enforcement-network&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flocksafety.com\/blog\/introducing-law-enforcement-network\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tells its customers<\/a>, a query can prevent them from falling through the cracks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Data sharing across agencies is hardly novel. A police department can, for instance, share data from its automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) with state-run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/fusion-centers\" class=\"text link\">fusion centers<\/a>, which centralize resources from law enforcement agencies in particular regions. They could also share it with a regional High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program. (Alpharetta police agreed to do just that in 2025, according to a memorandum of understanding that WIRED obtained.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Whereas HIDTAs are federally funded public programs, Flock is a private company that manages a sprawling, interconnected ALPR network governed by rules and restrictions that vary wildly from city to city. And if police departments don\u2019t closely supervise their settings for data requests and sharing within Flock\u2019s interface, they can unwittingly become nodes in a much larger surveillance network than they necessarily know or understand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This can lead to situations like that in Alpharetta, where citizens and visitors are embedded in a data-sharing network that has propagated to more than 2,300 nodes. So, how does it happen?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Setting Boundaries<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">To understand how cities like Alpharetta can build such expansive data-sharing networks with Flock, it\u2019s important to understand how Flock\u2019s interface actually works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">WIRED analyzed a cache of files on Flock\u2019s website that are served by its login pages to anyone who loads them. Some of the code that WIRED analyzed illustrates what a Flock administrator might see in their own Flock interface\u2014specifically, in their settings and sharing preferences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">An administrator can automatically share their agency\u2019s Flock data with any organization within a custom radius, within their home state, or within one or more other states. Alternatively, they can individually choose organizations to share data with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Administrators can also limit specific data that other organizations can receive, like live or archived videos. They can also limit which organizations can ask <em>them<\/em> for data. They could restrict this, for instance, to organizations based in the same state, or within a 50-mile radius.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/how-an-atlanta-suburb-ended-up-sharing-flock-data-with-more-than-2000-organizations\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alpharetta, a prosperous suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, is home to about 67,000 people, served by about 120 local police officers.
