MEMORANDUM
TO: Crystal Dyches, City Manager
FROM: Paul Marzocca, Police Chief

SUBJECT: Flock Safety- License Plate Reader and Gunshot Detection System

DATE: November 16, 2022

Proposal:

The purchase of a Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and Gunshot Detection System.

Background:

Gun violence in the United States has been rising significantly for several years, and according to the
Center of Disease Control, in 2021, more than 45,000 people were killed in the United States due to gun
violence. The 2021 statistics shattered the previous record in 2020 by more than 3,500 deaths. In 2021,
Arizona, the rate of homicide deaths involving firearms increased 22% compared to the 18% nationwide
average.

City Of El Mirage Data:

In 2021, there were 142 calls reporting shots fired in our city. As of August 2022, there have been a total
of 72 reports of shots fired in our city, with one resulting in homicide, more than ten resulting in injuries
to victims, and dozens resulting in damage to homes and vehicles. Statistical data reveals that on
average, 80% of gunfire goes unreported to 9-1-1. The purchase of a Flock Safety — License Plate Reader
and Gunshot Detection System will assist officers in combating violent gun crimes by allowing for
gunshots to be detected and for officers to proactively respond. The system will also allow officers to
further excel by identifying vehicles involved in the violent crimes. Vehicles are commonly used ina
multitude of violent crimes including shots fired, drive by shootings, aggravated assaults, domestic
violence, kidnappings and illegal drug activity.

At the close of 2021, a detection system (we will call Brand X to not reveal the company) similar to the
Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and Gunshot Detection System was deployed in a complex

Policing With Purpose

investigation involving a suspect who fired upon dozens of police officers in and around the city.
Knowing the serious nature of the suspect’s actions, the City of Phoenix loaned a number of their Brand
X sensors which were deployed around the city. The system allowed officers to swiftly respond to the
exact locations of the shootings, search for the suspect, any possible victims and evidence (shell
casings). The use of the Brand X’s sensors allowed for the EMPD to understand it’s capabilities, collect
evidence of shootings, identify suspects, and make arrests. The Brand X system proved to increase
officer safety using it’s mapping system, allowing officers to formulate the best approach to a shooting
scene. The Brand X sensors detect shots fired and transmit the exact location of the shots fired to
officers and dispatchers by cellular phone and mobile data computers in less than 60 seconds.

The Brand X system was solely a gunshot detection system. The Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and
Gunshot Detection System is considered a more modern system which will allow officers to detect the
almost exact location of gunshots and locate vehicles involved in the unfortunate common violent
crimes. A system such as the Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and Gunshot Detection System used in
the serial shooter investigation would have resulted in a more swift ending to the multiple shootings at
police officers.

Request

On behalf of the EMPD, | am requesting the purchase of the Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and
Gunshot Detection System. The system pinpoints the exact location of shooting events within two
meters and in real time. With officers responding to more shooting scenes, more evidence and
information will be collected. In terms of fired cartridge cases, more cases will be submitted for
processing through the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) in a timely manner.
The more exhibits processed through NIBIN, the greater potential for generating actionable crime gun
intelligence through the linking of crimes, guns and suspects. An example of this was seen in July of
2022, when EMPD officers responded to a shooting in the city. Several guns and shell casings were
seized as evidence and were compared to NIBN, linking two guns and shell casings to other shootings in
the City of Phoenix, one resulting in a homicide. The system will further the EMPD’s capabilities by
allowing officers to quickly locate and identify vehicles involved or fleeing from the horrific crimes.
Locating vehicles in a timely manner is paramount to the success of many violent crime investigations.
The Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and Gunshot Detection System are integrated into streetlights or
other fixtures and blend in well within our communities and are nearly unnoticeable.

Community Impact

The Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and Gunshot Detection System will have a positive impact within
our community. The system will allow officers serving the community to respond safely to violent gun
crimes. The system will allow officers to canvass areas where shootings occurred for victims, suspects
and crucial evidence. With the Flock Safety — License Plate Reader and Gunshot Detection Systems
deployed within our communities, officers will be able to serve the community more effectively and
efficiently, serving those who have learned to live in area where violent crimes are a norm and gunshots
are heard regularly.

System Overview
What makes Flock Safety’s technology different:

Police departments need a scalable solution to increase clearance rates and deter crime. Flock Safety’s
cameras see like a detective which make actionable evidence available when needed that is easily
searchable by vehicle type, make, model, unique features, color, time frame, or plate details. The details
are delivered through Machine Learning technology that scans each image for distinguishing features
instead of traditional metal plates. This means the system can also detect vehicles with no plates,
temporary plates, dirty/covered plates, and even get accurate state detection.

Flock Safety’s mission is to eliminate crime. This is possible with city-wide coverage of automatic license
plate readers (ALPRs) for public safety organizations and private citizens. When a crime occurs, Flock
Safety cameras deliver the actionable evidence needed to make an arrest. Flock Safety camera systems
live in over 1500 cities in 40 states and over 1000 police departments. With an average of 120 Hot List
notifications sent an hour with jurisdictions throughout the U.S., the Flock Safety’s team is helping
agencies solve and prevent crime every minute.

The Flock Safety ALPR camera and devices are the only Law Enforcement Grade ALPR System to offer
the following combination of proprietary features:

1. Patented Vehicle Fingerprint Technology: Patented proprietary machine vision to analyze vehicle
license plate, state recognition, vehicle color, vehicle type, vehicle make and objects (roof rack,
bumper stickers, etc.) based on image analytics (not car registration data). Machine vision to
capture and identify characteristics of vehicles with a paper license plate and vehicles with the
absence of a license plate. Ability to ‘Save Search’ based on description of vehicles using the
companies patented Vehicle Fingerprint Technology without the need for a license plate and set up
alerts based on vehicle description. The company is the only LPR provider with “Visual Search”
which can transform digital images from any source into an investigative lead by finding matching
vehicles based on the vehicle attributes in the uploaded photo

2. Integrated Cloud-Software & Hardware Platform: Ability to capture two (2+) lanes of traffic
simultaneously with a single camera from a vertical mass. Best in class ability to capture and
process up to 30,000 vehicles per day with a single camera powered exclusively by solar power.
Wireless deployment of solar powered license plate reading cameras with integrated cellular
communication weighing less than Slbs and able to be powered solely by a solar panel of 60W or
less. Web based footage retrieval tool with filtering capabilities such as vehicle color, vehicle type,
vehicle manufacturer, partial or full license plate, state of license plate, and object detection.
Utilizes motion capture to start and stop recording without the need for a reflective plate. Motion
detection allows for unique cases such as bicycle capture, ATV, motorcycle, etc.

3. Transparency & Ethical Product Design: One-of-a-kind “Transparency Portal” public-facing
dashboard that details the policies in place by the purchaser, as well as automatically updated
metrics from the Flock system. Built-in integration with NCMEC to receive AMBER Alerts to find

missing children. Privacy controls to enable certain vehicles to “opt-out” of being captured
3

4. Integrated Audio & Gunshot Detection: Natively integrated audio detection capabilities utilizing
machine learning to recognize audio signatures typical of crimes in progress (e.g., gunshots)

5. Partnerships: Flock Safety is the only LPR provider to officially partner with Axon to be natively and
directly integrated to be fully integrated into a dynamic network of Axon’s Fleet 3 mobile ALPR
cameras for patrol cars and Flock Safety’s Falcon cameras. Access to additional cameras purchased
by the company’s HOA and private business partners, means an ever-increasing amount of cameras
and data at no additional cost.

First year costs for the system to be purchased through Council approved Capital Improvements, Activity
Code 62334 and subsequent years would have to be included in the yearly budget. The initial ask is for
24 LPR’s at a cost of $70.900.00. The cost to have four square miles of gun detection is $100,000. Each
square mile is approximately $25,000 which consists of upwards of 50 devices for each square mile.

Type Capital Equipment

Project Number 62334

Description

Installation and sustainment of 28 FireFLY-LE2 sensors. These sensors pinpoint the exact location of the shooting events within a defined area in real-
time, With law enforcers responding to more crime scenes, more evidence and information will be collected. In terms of fired cartridge cases, more
will be submitted for processing through the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) in a timely manner. The more exhibits
processed through NIBIN, the greater the potential for generating actionable crime gun intelligence through the linking of crimes, guns and suspects,
The attached quote from CGIT includes a 2-year sensor system sustainment cost, including cellular communication, database storage, maintenance,
and technical support.

In the past 23 months 211 shots fired calls were reported to EMPD. Statistical data reveals that 80% of gunfire goes unreported to 9-1-1 on average,
Using this model an additional 168 shots fired calls went unreported. Statistical data also reveals that only 19% of the population is responsible for 2/3rd
of all shootings. The goal is to improve community quality of life and reduce gun violence.

Gunfire sensors detect shots fired and transmit the data to officers in the field by cellular phone and mobile data computer in less than 60 seconds with
an exact location of the shots fired. Officers are also provided with an audio file of the shots fired to help validate its gunfire. Officers can approach the
area in safety as they now know exactly where the shots were fired. When citizens call 9-1-1 a general area of the shots fired is given. Officers
approaching the area are ata much higher risk of not knowing where the shooting specifically occurred. With the data from the system, shell casings
are more easily located as they know the exact location of the shooting to collect critical evidence.

Gunshot sensors are portable so they can be moved around the City of El Mirage as necessary to combat violent gun crimes. The sensors are
integrated into streetlights to help blend into the environment.

This request is eligible for ARPA funding.

The 2021 National Community Survey found that 50% of El Mirage residents rate their overall feeling of safety favorably (67% report feeling safe
from violent crime and 57% report feeling safe from property crime), 72% rank the quality of police services favorably, 52% rank the quality of crime
prevention favorably, and 95% of residents feel it is important for the city to focus on the overall feeling of safety in the next 2 years.

Your partner
in fighting
crime

Protecting your jurisdiction is of the utmost importance. Thank you for considering Flock
Safety's technology system as part of your comprehensive strategy to promote the safety of
your city, citizens, and officers. We are more than just a camera company - we are a crime-
fighting technology company with a mission to eliminate crime in the United States.

What makes Flock Safety's
technology different

Public & private partnerships

Thousands of communities use privately-
funded Flock Safety cameras throughout
the country, which provides a huge benefit
to local law enforcement as they can have
access to those cameras without having to
pay for them.

Infrastructure free

Use cameras that are solar powered
and include LTE internet connectivity
(unlimited use included in cost), so
they can be rapidly deployed virtually
anywhere.

Vehicle fingerprint™ technology

Capture far more than just license plates.
Allow your investigators to search footage
by vehicle type, make, color, and other
unique attributes; identify the state of a
license plate; capture temporary plates,
paper plates, and vehicles without plates.
Our cameras also capture two (2) lanes of
traffic traveling up to 100 MPH.

Simple & affordable

Our cameras cost $2,500 per camera per
year which includes hardware, software,
solar power, LTE connectivity, unlimited
users, and unlimited data storage.

Integrated Audio Detection

Uncover more than shell casings; get from
“shots fired” to a suspect vehicle in real-
time with the Raven ™ audio detection
device, an accessory for your ALPR that
identifies crimes in progress before 911 is
called.

Flock Safety's technology includes fixed license plate reading
cameras, audio detection devices, and software for unlimited
users to access footage and receive Hot List notifications.

Police departments need a scalable solution to increase clearance rates and deter crime.
Flock Safety's cameras see like a detective to make actionable evidence available when

frame, or plate details. We deliver this detail through Machine Learning technology that
scans each image for distinguishing features instead of traditional metal plates. This means
we can also detect vehicles with no plates, temporary plates, dirty/covered plates, and even
get accurate state detection.

Our solution captures 30% more plates than our leading
competitor, according to a side-by-side study done

by LASD in 2019, largely due to using Al and Machine
Learning to analyze the entire vehicle profile instead of
legacy Infrared based technology.

In April 2019, Marietta Police Department released a
study that shows they experienced a 34% reduction in
calls for service by targeting crime hot spots throughout
the city with Flock Safety cameras.

In October 2019, Cobb County Police Department
released a study based on their installation of 13 Flock
Safety cameras in March. Over the six-month period,
Cobb police reported a 60% reduction in overall crime by
focusing on the beat with the highest crime levels.
