Flock Safety founder and CEO Garrett Langley is building the technology infrastructure to eliminate crime in America.

He shares his conviction that safety drives economic prosperity, the surprising fact that drones arrive on scene 94% of the time before officers, and how AI will free police officers from paperwork to focus on community relationships.
