"Crime rates in the United States, as a matter of statistical fact, have fallen drastically over the past 30 years - but at the same time, due to a mix of sensational news reporting and irresponsible political rhetoric, the average American mistakenly believes they're increasing. And now, barreling into that reality is a 38-year-old tech bro who says his spying startup can solve it all for good."
"Garrett Langley is the CEO and cofounder of a surveillance startup called Flock Safety. Valued at $7.5 billion, according to Forbes, Flock has amassed a matrix of over 80,000 "AI-powered" cameras throughout the US since its founding in 2017. As Forbes adds, that intelligence web is now getting a boost in the form of "made in America" surveillance drones, which began rolling out to police departments in August."
Crime rates in the United States have fallen dramatically over the past 30 years while public perception increasingly believes otherwise due to sensational reporting and political rhetoric. Garrett Langley, CEO and cofounder of Flock Safety, oversees a network of over 80,000 AI-powered cameras and is introducing American-made surveillance drones to police departments. Flock operates on a subscription model and partners with firms like FedEx and Lowe's, as well as schools and property managers, to grant law enforcement access to private camera webs. Centralized access to fragmented privately owned footage aims to speed investigations and support claims of substantially reducing crime by 2035.
