Who Is Flock Intelligence?

The Dunwoody GA PD audit data released today contains 606 searches by an organization called “Flock Intelligence.” It is not a police department. It is not a government agency. Every field that would identify the operator — name, filters, case number — is redacted with ***.

Flock Intelligence does not appear in any audit log before August 2025, and it is absent from the org audit entirely. It only shows up in the network audit, meaning it searches Dunwoody’s cameras from outside the department.

The searches

Month	Total	Freeform	Search	Convoy	Other
Aug	21	17	1	—	3
Sep	225	164	34	22	5
Oct	164	117	40	2	5
Nov	101	95	6	—	—
Dec	95	93	2	—	—

Over 80% of Flock Intelligence’s queries are FreeForm searches — the AI-powered text prompt feature analyzed in detail here. That earlier analysis showed that Flock’s moderation system warns about political searches but does not block them. Flock Intelligence’s searches confirm that pattern.

Political expression

Among the 170 unique text prompts, a cluster targets vehicles by political expression:

• “a truck with a trump flag on it” — warn
• “red honda accord with a trump bumper sticker” — warn
• “green car with trump bumper sticker” — warn
• “vehicle with trump bumper sticker” — warn
• “a SUV with a yellow don’t tread on me flag” — warn
• “a red nissan rogue with a don’t tread on me flag” — warn
• “don’t tread on me flag” — warn
• “american flag” — warn
• “a car with a british flag” — warn
• “dallas cowboy flag”
• “vehicle with a Dallas Cowboys star sticker”
• “vehicle with a Falcons logo”

Every political expression search was warned — and every one went through. The sports team searches passed without even a warning, which tells you where the moderation system draws its lines and how firmly it enforces them.

What got blocked

The moderation system blocked searches describing occupants:

• “car with two occupants” — block
• “car with 2 occupants” — block
• “4 door truck with 4 individuals” — block
• “four people inside car” — block
• “green vehicle with a roof rack 4 individuals inside” — block

And a handful of subjective descriptors:

• “green car with trashy stickers on it” — block
• “orange car with person and red shift” — block
• “crazy looking car” — block

Other warned searches include “pink breast cancer awareness plate,” “pink ribbon sticker on plate,” and “german shepard in back of pickup truck.”

So: searching for a specific political candidate’s bumper sticker gets a warning and goes through. Searching for “crazy looking car” gets blocked. That is the moderation hierarchy Flock built.

Recurring patterns

Some searches recur across months in ways that suggest either ongoing tracking:

“Black Mercedes GL450 4MATIC” appears in October, November, and December. In December it evolves into “black Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 SUV” and several variations — the same vehicle tracked across a quarter, description refined over time.

“Armored truck OR Brinks truck” (and variations) appears every month from August through December. This is the most consistent search pattern in the dataset.

“White Dodge Charger with black roof and black stripe” recurs October through December with slight wording changes.

Again, this is not a police agency. It is a private party performing long-term surveillance on locations of Mercedes and cash-in-transit vehicles.

Possible reasons range from harmless testing queries (over multiple months — so that seems unlikely), to employees selling intelligence to criminal actors, to some sort of commercial service.

Person searches

Three prompts target people rather than vehicles:

• “white t-shirt” (objectClass:person)
• “person on scooter” / “person with scooter” (objectClass:person)
• “yellow backpack” (objectClass:person)

All were allowed by moderation.

Other Flock organizations in Dunwoody’s logs

Flock Intelligence is not the only Flock-affiliated entity searching Dunwoody’s cameras. Four others that we’ve seen previously appear here as well:

Organization	Months	Records
Flock City PD - Law Enforcement Demo	Jan–Dec	~294
Flock Safety - Admins	Feb–Jun	~33
Flock RTCC	Jan, Mar	~21
Flock Safety - Engineering	Jun	~1

“Flock City PD - Law Enforcement Demo” searches Dunwoody’s network every month of the year. That is a demo environment running against a live police department’s surveillance data — not a sandbox.

“Flock RTCC” — Real-Time Crime Center — searched Dunwoody’s network in January and March.

“Flock Safety - Admins” and “Flock Safety - Engineering” are self-explanatory: Flock employees with direct access to customer camera networks.

In total, Flock-affiliated entities account for over 1,000 searches of a single police department’s camera network in 2025.

What is Flock Intelligence?

It is not listed as a law enforcement agency. It does not appear on Flock’s public-facing product pages.

Its operator identities, search filters, and case numbers are all redacted in the logs Flock provides to its own customers. Dunwoody PD cannot audit who at Flock Intelligence searched their network, what they were looking for, or why.

As I publish this, at 6:10pm (CDT) on March 23, 2026, Dunwoody PD and Dan Haley — Flock’s chief legal officer — are telling the City Council that access is only granted to police agencies, and only for criminal investigative purposes.

Again, police and Flock say one thing, the logs say another.

Someone, somewhere — who is not police — is tracking live data about these vehicles.
