About Flock in Phoenix
The Phoenix metro area — including Scottsdale, Gilbert, Chandler, and Mesa — has deployed Flock cameras aggressively across its sprawling grid of arterial roads. Arizona has no ALPR oversight legislation, and the combination of police and HOA cameras in master-planned communities creates extensive suburban coverage.
Primary corridors: Loop 101, I-10, SR-51, Scottsdale Rd, Gilbert Rd, Chandler Blvd.
Cameras are deployed by a mix of the local police department, county sheriff, and private homeowners associations — all connected to the same law enforcement database. Any officer at any of the 3,000+ agencies on Flock's network can query vehicle movement history with no warrant.
