The portal reported 465,622 vehicle detections in the 30 days before it was captured. It did not publish how many times that data was searched.
It also reported 0 hotlist hits, reads that matched a list the agency or one of its partners had loaded.
A blank field means the portal did not publish that number, not that it was zero. Figures can have changed since 2024; the live portal is the current source.

Where these figures come from
Flock Safety publishes a transparency portal for each customer agency. The portal figures above were captured by The News & Observer / McClatchy (private_eyes) between July 2023 and April 2024 and are shown unchanged. Where the live portal differs, the portal is right. The mapped count comes from FlockDetour’s own public camera data, counted October 5, 2026.
