Who is Flock?

Flock Safety provides the first public safety operating system that empowers private communities and law enforcement to work together to eliminate crime. We are committed to protecting human privacy and mitigating bias in policing with the development of best-in-class technology rooted in ethical design, which unites civilians and public servants in pursuit of a safer, more equitable society.

Our Safety-as-a-Service approach includes affordable devices powered by LTE and solar that can be installed anywhere. Our technology detects and captures objective details, decodes evidence in real-time and delivers investigative leads into the hands of those who matter.

While safety is a serious business, we are a supportive team that is optimizing the remote experience to create strong and fun relationships even when we are physically apart. Our flock of hard-working employees thrive in a positive and inclusive environment, where a bias towards action is rewarded. Flock Safety is headquartered in Atlanta and operates nationwide. We have raised over $380M in venture capital including a recent Series E round led by Tiger Global. Now surpassing a 3B valuation, Flock is scaling intentionally and seeking the best and brightest to help us meet our goal of reducing crime in the United States by 25% in the next three years.

Additional Information

The Role

*Must be in the midwest (Illinois, Colorado or Texas)*

The residents of the entire city are our ultimate customers. Sometimes a neighborhood or a commercial business or a law enforcement agency pays for our technology, but we serve the entire community. Therefore, we need to properly educate the entire community on how safe, effective, and privacy-centric this technology is in each community.

Our technology is live in over 1700 cities, and we’ve tripled in size each of the last three years. That means there are tens of thousands of individual residents and city leaders who we need to help educate about how Flock Safety does / does not work, clear up any misconceptions about the technology, and prepare to answer questions that people may have about the technology. You will be measured on how successful you are at driving educational programs in communities around the country.
