> $275M at $7.5B valuation: Y Combinator’s Flock Safety to provide a public safety operating system that eliminates crime, eyeing an IPO
> To prepare for potential future public listing, Flock Safety has added Brandon Simins as CFO.
> Flock’s technology has proven instrumental in solving serious crimes, from homicides and assaults to human trafficking and organised retail crime. Notable successes include dismantling a human trafficking ring in Detroit, apprehending the Bay Bridge Shooter in San Francisco, and solving a $12 million jewelry theft in Denver. The company claims that its systems aid in 7% of successful criminal investigations in the United States, and in 2024, they stated that their devices “help to solve 10% of reported crime”.

They haven’t gotten a lot of great press lately. A lawsuit has been filed challenging the constitutionality of the surveillance system and Congress has opened an investigation.
