Mayor Erick D. Simmons announces a new and powerful partnership between the City of Greenville and Flock Safety-bringing cutting-edge technology to support and strengthen our public safety efforts. Through the deployment of automated license plate readers (ALPR$), gunshot detestion technology, and public safety drones, Greenville is taking bold and proactive steps to protect our residents, solve crimes faster, and prevent violence before it occurs.
This new initiative will:
• Enhance real-time crime detection and response;
• Support law enforcement with critical evidence; and
• Increase community safety through transparency and accountability.
Our partnership with Flock Safety aligns with our commitment to innovative, responsible, and community-first policing. These technologies do not replace officers-—they empower them to do their jobs more effectively, efficiently, and safely.
