Chief Daniel Comeaux met with Flock CEO Garrett Langley this morning to discuss the department’s use of Flock technology and address recent concerns. During the meeting, Flock agreed to keep the approximately 300 state grant-funded cameras operational for the next 90 days. As a result, those cameras remain active and there is currently no interruption in service. The discussion included Flock’s policies governing data uploads and how those policies compare with other practices, audit safeguards designed to identify and address potential misuse, and reporting and accountability requirements. “Technology can be an important tool in keeping Dallas safe, but we also have a responsibility to understand how that technology and the information it collects are being used and protected,” Chief Comeaux said. “Today’s conversation allowed us to address our concerns directly and better understand the safeguards Flock has in place.” “The Dallas Police Department has been an important partner, and we value the relationship we’ve built with the department,” Langley said. “We’re proud of the impact our technology has had in helping Dallas PD solve crimes, locate missing people, and keep the community safe. We appreciated the opportunity to meet with Chief Comeaux and his team and look forward to continuing our work together.” The department remains committed to ensuring that technology used to support public safety also meets appropriate standards for oversight, accountability, transparency, and the public’s trust.
