Dallas TX PD122,152
California Highway Patrol116,197

Texas law enforcement alone — Houston and Dallas PDs — accounted for roughly 278,000 searches (8.5% of the total).

#Convoy searches

6,705 searches used the convoy type, which finds groups of vehicles traveling together across Flock camera networks. Houston TX PD dominated convoy usage with 2,427 searches (36%), followed by Atlanta GA PD (551) and Gwinnett County GA PD (347).

#Freeform searches

1,900 searches used Flock’s AI-powered freeform feature, where users describe a vehicle in natural language instead of entering a plate number. Examples from the data:

  • “white volkswagon jetta”
  • “grey lexus sedan, no tag, passenger side damage”
  • “newer model is3 darker silver/grey lexus sedan with gold or light colored wheels or rims”
  • “dark gray or black sedan with gold or bronze rims”

All freeform queries were prefixed with objectClass:vehicle. No person-description searches appeared in this batch.

#No reasons

Dunwoody’s network audit continues to provide no search reasons — searches of Dunwoody’s cameras remain unauditable by reason.

#No organization audit

This release contains only network audit data. The organization audit — which logs Dunwoody PD’s own searches and includes officer names, search reasons (if logged), and case numbers — was not included.
