The Truckee Police Department uses Flock Safety technology to capture objective evidence without compromising on individual privacy. The Truckee Police Department utilizes retroactive searches to solve crimes after they've occurred and also utilizes real-time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals, locate missing persons, and to help detect and recover stolen vehicles. This technology is also an essential tool for providing roadway usage data to directly support the departments efforts in emergency and disaster planning for their community. In an effort to ensure proper usage and guardrails are in place, this department has made all governing policies and usage statistics available to the public they serve.
