The Marysville Police Department uses Flock Safety technology to capture objective evidence without compromising individual privacy. The Marysville Police Department uses retroactive searches to help generate case leads and solve crimes after they've occurred. Additionally, the Marysville Police Department utilizes real-time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals who travel through our city to commit other crimes. To ensure proper usage and establish proper guardrails for the program, we have made the policies and usage statistics available to the public.
