Flock Favors: Police Across New York Search Flock on Behalf of ICE
In this report, S.T.O.P. and LatinoJustice PRLDEF detail how state and local police across New York have searched Flock’s nationwide license plate database on behalf of ICE, including to locate drivers suspected of no crime. The report documents explicit ICE-related searches by police in Nassau County, Beacon, Glen Cove, and Cheektowaga, as well as search patterns involving the New York State Intelligence Center, State Police, and Lancaster police that suggest additional immigration searches may have been hidden behind generic labels.

A cop’s case for Flock – Works in Progress Magazine
People are right to want less police intrusion in their lives. The way to get there is more precision, not less.
A car is a difficult thing to steal. It is large, cherished by its owner, difficult to hide and required by law to have identifying metal plates that everyone can see. A good thief changes the plates, and an excellent thief steals a common car in a boring color and hopes to blend in among the crowd. But eventually, no matter what techniques they use, they must drive that car on the road, and roads are public places.

Federation responds to Leadership Commission report
The Police Leadership Commission, chaired by former Home Secretary Lord Blunkett and former Policing Minister Lord Herbert, has published its final report, Professionalism and Performance: Police Leadership for the Future, following one of the most extensive examinations of policing leadership in a generation.
Drawing on evidence from thousands of officers, staff and stakeholders, the Commission concludes that leadership development across policing is too inconsistent and has suffered from decades of underinvestment. It warns frontline supervisors are often inadequately prepared for leadership responsibilities and that opportunities for development vary significantly across forces.
The findings echo concerns long raised by the Police Federation.
