In early April, law enforcement received a call about a grand theft at a jewellery store in Richmond, California. The suspect tried on a gold necklace valued at $21,000, then ran out of the store. Onlookers reported that the suspect fled the scene in a four-door Honda Civic.
In an effort to gather evidence, police reached out to a neighbouring community that had a Flock Safety neighbourhood security camera installed. The neighbourhood administrator reviewed the captured footage, found a four-door Honda Civic driving through the neighbourhood shortly after the incident, and handed the footage to the officers.
Providing actionable evidence
“We partner with local law enforcement closely to investigate incidents within our neighbourhood, so I was thrilled to be able to return the favour. I hope that small gestures such as this one will continue to foster the growth of our relationship.” —Joseph, Neighbourhood Representative
This California community already had a strong relationship with law enforcement, and thanks to Flock Safety’s ability to act as a virtual security guard, they will be able to continue providing actionable evidence in cases like this to grow the relationship further. Here are more ways communities and law enforcement can work together to solve and prevent crime.
