Flock Built a $7.5 Billion Crime-Solving Network. Now It Has to Prove the Network Can Police Itself.
Flock made license-plate intelligence cheap to deploy and easy to share. The product worked so well that the governance around it became the company’s most important engineering problem.
Biometrica (aka Safience)
Biometrica - now operating under the name Safience - is a Las Vegas-based public-safety and identity-intelligence company that helps law enforcement, casinos, schools and critical infrastructure find specific threats and missing victims without watching everyone. Its platform pairs a law-enforcement-only database of verified identities (UMbRA) with edge sensors (RTIS/RVIS) that capture a single still image, purge non-matches immediately, and store no biometric data on the device. The company's pitch is deliberately contrarian for its industry: public safety without mass surveillance, summed up in its tagline 'Being Big Brother Is a Choice.'
