Axon entered into a commercial partnership with Flock Safety, a venture-backed provider of automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology. The agreement will make it easier and more cost effective for police departments to deploy a network of both fixed and mobile ALPR capabilities by offering Flock Safety's ALPR solution alongside Axon's upcoming Axon Fleet 3 in-car video and mobile ALPR solution, the companies said.

Axon said it is improving the traditional ALPR model by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce cost, making it affordable for police departments to deploy ALPR in every vehicle. Axon is ethically designing its ALPR solution to improve data security, transparency and privacy relative to historical legacy solutions.
Flock Safety's wireless camera systems are being used in an increasing number of neighborhoods across the United States. They use the vehicle fingerprint technology to identify the unique features of a suspect vehicle, including make, model, color and license plate, allowing police to track leads and solve crimes.
