Flock Safety, a surveillance company facing backlash over its license plate reader network, is offering voluntary severance packages to employees as customers flee and the company struggles with privacy concerns and camera vandalism. The company expects most applicants to receive buyouts by late October, with some employees receiving tens of thousands of dollars in severance. Flock's customer base has contracted significantly in 2026, with roughly three times as many local governments dropping the service compared to the previous five years.
