Flock’s new AI changes the question from plate reading to relationship mapping

Flock Safety has introduced artificial intelligence tools that can infer travel patterns and map relationships between vehicles across its camera network. The capabilities allow investigators using its OS Investigate system to identify vehicles from descriptions and reveal potential associates based on cars that repeatedly travel together. This shifts the commercial surveillance technology beyond traditional automated licence plate recognition, which requires a specific registration number. PoliceAI News records the system across more than 5,000 US law enforcement agencies. By August 2026, the network spanned about 120,000 cameras across 49 US states.
