Data update: Dunwoody GA (Mar 2026)

Twelve months of audit logs from Dunwoody, Georgia PD covering all of 2025 were added — both organization audit (Dunwoody’s own searches) and network audit (other agencies searching Dunwoody’s Flock network).

• Type: Organization audit + Network audit
• Timespan: Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2025
• Org audit records: 54,148
• Network audit records: 23,426,238 ^*
• Organizations: ~3,500+

^* Jul, Aug, Oct, Nov, and Dec are truncated at the Excel row limit

Flock’s own searches

Six Flock-affiliated entities — including “Flock Intelligence,” “Flock City PD - Law Enforcement Demo,” and others — account for over 1,000 searches of Dunwoody’s camera networks in 2025. “Flock Intelligence” searched the network 606 times from the outside (Aug–Dec) using AI-powered freeform queries — many targeting political expression. See Who Is Flock Intelligence? for the full analysis.

Search type shift

Dunwoody’s org audit shows the same lookup-to-search inversion documented in Dublin GA and Santa Cruz, but in reverse chronological order. In January–February 2025, search queries outnumbered lookup roughly 4:1 (1,530 vs 353 in January; 1,639 vs 337 in February). By mid-year the ratio began to flip, and from August onward lookup dominated — reaching 73.9% of all searches by November.

The shift coincides with the same timeframe observed elsewhere, reinforcing that this is a platform-wide change in how Flock categorizes queries rather than a local policy decision.

Freeform and visual searches

Dunwoody used Flock’s AI-powered freeform search to find vehicles and people by physical description. Vehicle queries included prompts like “white Dodge Charger with a black racing stripe,” “flatbed truck with lawn equipment,” and “usps truck.”

Person searches were also present: “dressed in all black clothing and black face mask,” “light skin male with black hoodie and red shoes,” and — less conventionally — “GRINCH,” “FROG,” and “banana.”

Anomalies

No Reasons

Dunwoody’s audit logs do not contain a “Reason” column.

I did not receive clarification as to why this column is missing. There appears to be no lawful basis for withholding the information under the Georgia Open Records Act.

I will assume that Dunwoody is in compliance with the Act and does not log a reason; its searches, and the searches of any other agency in Dunwoody networks, are deliberately unauditable.

Case numbers

Case number usage in the org audit climbs steadily over the year as overall usage declines:

In the network audit, most case number fields contain *** — a wholesale redaction applied to searches by other agencies. The *** count does not correlate with the org audit’s case number counts: Dunwoody’s own org audit logged 30 case numbers in January while the network audit had zero *** entries that month, but by December the network audit contained 368,077 *** entries against only 231 org audit case numbers. This appears to be a blanket field-level redaction rather than a 1:1 masking of entered case numbers.

Excluding ***, only a handful of visible case numbers survive per month:

The non-redacted case numbers come from a rotating set of agencies — typically one per month leaks visible case numbers while all others are masked. These include departments like St. Louis County MO PD (February), Douglasville GA PD (April), Orange County FL SO (May), George Mason University PD (June), and Washington County WI SO (July–December). The LOCAL IDs in the network audit are not stable across months — the same numeric ID maps to different agencies in different monthly exports.

Excel row limit truncation

Five of the twelve network audit files contain exactly 2,097,151 rows — the maximum row count in an Excel spreadsheet (2^21 - 1). The affected months are July, August, October, November, and December 2025. The true search volume for these months is unknown; the actual totals are higher than reported.

Org audit volume decline

Org audit records drop from a peak of 6,872 in February to 2,320 in December — a 66% decline over the year. The sharpest drop occurs between June (5,480) and September (3,204), after which volume stabilizes at a lower baseline. It is unclear whether this reflects fewer searches by Dunwoody officers, a change in what gets logged, or a shift to Nova that avoids regular logging.

Duplicate UUIDs in February

The February org audit contains hundreds of records with duplicate UUIDs — the same search ID appearing five or more times with identical parameters, timestamps, and results.

This is a highly improbable bug for any software using UUIDs in a way that comports with standard software engineering practices, and puts into question the accuracy or authenticity of the logs (multiple instances of the same unique identifier should be impossible).

Q1 2026 org audit

Three months of org audit logs covering January 1 – March 25, 2026 were added — 4,689 records from Dunwoody GA PD.

• Type: Organization audit
• Timespan: Jan 1 – Mar 25, 2026
• Records: 4,689
• Operators: ~50

Volume

^* Partial month through March 25

Reason column now present

Dunwoody’s logs now include a Reason column. Kind of.

Only 8.5% of records (398 of 4,689) have a reason filled in. Nearly all populated reasons are “Welfare Check” variants (309 of 398). A handful of “Wanted Person (Arrest Warrant/Fugitive)” (15) and “City Planning/Traffic Analysis” (5) entries also appear. The remaining 91.5% of searches are still logged without any reason.

Search types

The lookup share continues climbing — from 73.9% in November 2025 to 75% by March 2026 — while search and freeform decline proportionally.

Two new search types appear that were not present in the 2025 data:

• mostSeenOcrValues (1 record, February) — operator Kayce Lowe, case # 26011188, searched 2 networks on 2/24. This could be a “most frequently seen cars” query.
• searchSummary (1 record, March) — operator Elvin Arias, searched 782 networks on 3/17 with filters “tennessee, 932BNRS.”

Case numbers

20.5% of records include a case number (961 of 4,689). In 2025, case number usage started at 1.3% in January and climbed to 26.9% by November. January 2026 starts at 18.8% (413 of 2,200), suggesting the higher case-number rate is now baseline rather than an anomaly.

Freeform searches

160 freeform queries across Q1 2026. Notable patterns:

• Brinks armored truck surveillance — repeated across all three months, with variations like “BRINKS armored truck,” “Brinks truck,” and “armored truck.” This is the single most common freeform target.
• Vehicle descriptions — “red tesla model 3 with black roof and black rims,” “gray dodge challenger with red sticker on the windshield,” “silver Jeep grand Cherokee with temporary tag,” “large white two door pickup truck with decals on the back left tailgate and black door handles.”
• Person searches — “blue bookbag,” “PEOPLE WITH TOOLS,” “motorcycle with a man with a black jacket with white circular logo on the back.”
• “DON VERGAS” series — six searches in January for variations of “DON VERGAS LICENSE PLATE” / “TEXAS DON VERGAS TAG,” an apparent vanity plate.

April 7, 2026 update: Added Q1 2026 (Jan–Mar) org audit data and analysis (4,689 records).

March 24, 2026 update: Removed claims about Flock Nova pending further verification, added count of organizations to the chart.
