Investigate Flock Safety's Deletion of "Immutable" Surveillance Records

To: Mayor Anderson

From: A verified voter in Kalamazoo, MI

June 15

Flock Safety, an $8.4 billion surveillance corporation, is manipulating the audit logs it markets as "immutable" — and your constituents deserve answers. A Flock VP, Bob Carter, accessed a camera inside a girls' gymnastics room at a private Jewish community center in Dunwoody, Georgia. When that access was exposed, Carter's account vanished entirely from system exports. No deletion record exists. That is not a glitch — that is a cover-up. The evidence is damning. Sixteen Flock employees were scrubbed from user records with no corresponding deletion events in the logs. A separate employee, John Watson, performed dozens of administrative actions yet never appears in any user export at all. Flock VP Chris Colwell has admitted the company is actively "helping agencies limit what is included in audit exports." CEO Garrett Langley previously claimed every search is "preserved permanently in the audit trail." Both statements cannot be true. The full investigation is documented here: https://jasonhunyar.substack.com/p/caught-watching-our-kids-then-wiped Every city contracting with Flock — including in this state — has been sold accountability that doesn't exist. I want you to demand a full investigation into Flock Safety's data practices, hold public hearings, and push for legislation requiring genuinely independent, tamper-proof audit logs for any surveillance vendor operating here. Children were filmed. Records were deleted. Someone needs to answer for it.
