Flock Training PresentationFlock Training Outline
Go over policy #423
- Talk about a hit does not constitute probable cause.
- Stress the importance of confirming all Flock hits.
- Talk about dispatch roles with 10851 GB
Search Tab
1) Talk about each section in the left column of the “Search”
tab.
2) Images:
- Flock is a machine learning system and, by default, will
not produce results unless Flock’s confidence level is 75%
or higher.
- If Flock is not producing the results you are looking for,
loosen up the filter under the “Image” section (talk about
loosening up filters and adjusting confidence thresholds).
3) License Plate:
- You can search for full plates and partial.
- If CP provides you with a partial plate, check the “Partial
Plate Search” box, or the system will think you are looking
for a two-character plate.
- If CP provides you with plate but is missing a character,
add a “?” in place of the unknown character. Example: CP
said the plate was SE_1234. Since the CP didn’t know the
character after “E” you can add a “?” and Flock will
recognize a missing character and adjust accordingly.
- CP only knows 1 or 2 characters of the plate; you can type
in the characters and adjust the confidence threshold which
can increase/decrease the results.
4) Color
- If you are looking for a specific vehicle color that Flock
doesn’t have, you can check/toggle the “override
confidence thresholds” and select one of the Flock-
provided colors in the same color palette as your intended
color. Example: If you are looking for an orange vehicle,
you would select red and lower confidence threshold.
5) Talk about Searching the plate.
- Search should be DR, Call #, or the investigative reason.
- Flock guarantees two lanes but can detect up to four lanes
away.
6) Result Cards
- If the hit or results assisted your investigation, please click
on the hand icon to provide an outcome that will help keep
stats.
7) Look up tool
- Allows you to find vehicle travel patterns
- Two ways to access the lookup tool: The first is to click
“Look up tool” and enter the suspect’s plate. The second
way is if you located the suspects’ vehicle during your
search. Click on the plus icon to expand the result card and
you will see how many times the plate hit on a Flock
camera.
- Click on the three dots icon to take you to the “Lookup
tool” page. Make sure to select the “All Cameras” option
and click on “Lookup.”
- All data kept on Flock for 30 days
Alerts Tab
1) Go over the left columns and how to set alerts:
- You need to have the alerts tab opened on your computer
to receive alerts
- Make sure to emphasize that officers will need to
periodically recheck “All Cameras” until all Flock
cameras are installed.
- Use Google Chrome, and if you are not receiving
notifications on your computer, you may have blocked
popup access (check Chrome settings).
2) Briefly go over the hotlist.
