Flock Safety announced mandatory platform changes including audit tools to flag misuse, shorter data retention from 30 to 7 days, case-specific search requirements, and customizable data sharing settings to address privacy and misuse concerns in law enforcement use of its license plate readers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity, and 29 sources have reported it between 7 Aug 2026 and 18 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Flock’s changes force you to tighten access and audit controls or lose contracts in US policing. Data rules now limit misuse risk but open enforcement markets to competitors who can prove stricter compliance.
