Actually, the Lexington Police Department has introduced new Flock camera technology and it reflects the stadial advance in the field for increasing the level of security. This hi-tech surveillance system, which has been planted at various sensitive areas in the city, is gradually proving useful in the fight against crime and in the course of investigations.

Flock cameras are quite like conventional license plate readers with an added touch of technology; these cameras are designed to capture images of vehicles which pass across the camera’s lens. Such devices can record both license plates and such vehicle parameters as make, model and color. The information gathered from these cameras is stored in a database that can only be accessed from the police in an investigation.

The authorities of Lexington also state that since the installation of the camera system of Flock, police have observed an increase in the number of solved criminal cases and detected stolen automobiles. Some of the system’s achievements were revealed by Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel during the press conference. From statistics gathered, the camera installation has enabled police to recover dozens of stolen cars as well as leading to several ongoing cases.

The Flock system earned one of its greatest triumphs last week where it was instrumental in facilitating a swift arrest of the hit-and-run suspect who had injured a pedestrian severely. They also managed to capture the vehicle’s number plate as it sped off and the police arrested the driver shortly after the said incident.

Thus, although this technology has been applied widely in the homes with great demand from the residents who prefer security measures this has not been compliant with privacy concern’s expectations. There is a concern from the members of some communities about possible violation of privacy through misuse of the data the cameras gather.

Amid such concern, the Lexington Police Department has formally committed to be consistent with the appropriate use of the technology. Chief Gwinn-Villaroel was keen to note that maximization of privacy concerns that surround the Flock camera data is lined to those who have the permission to access such data and the sole use will be for calamity and law enforcement. Moreover, the department has followed a policy on retention of data that gives the time within which information is to be archived or otherwise deleted.

To further strengthen public privacy rights, the police department has embarked on a couple of community relations initiatives. Others include the town hall forums whereby the residents can make inquiries and give their opinion concerning the use of the Flock cameras. The department has also established another team comprised of community elders and civil liberal activists who shall be tasked with looking into the correctness of applying this technology with clearance on ethical standards and laws on privacy.

Leicester Police Department adopted Flock camera system as part of the trends that the department has been pursuing that involves the use of technology on how to fight crime. That is, other recent technological products are the use of cameras to wearing by officers, the use of data analysis to check hotspots areas of criminal activities and allocate resource in a better way.

Even as the city expands and transforms, the police force is determined to uncover the means of policing that would effectively protect the community’s living in the area while still responding to legal standards for policing in a manner that is constitutional. The Flock camera system put down a valuable capital in terms of public safety and its effectiveness will determine the operational future of similar camera technologies in Lexington and other cities in the United States.

This new technology arrives at a moment when such public sector city as Lexington is facing numerous multifaceted problems of public safety. In this way, by offering law enforcement agencies the best tools for combating and solving crimes, the city will endeavour to provide citizens with protection against criminals and guarantee the inviolability of each person’s rights at the same time.
