FLOCK CAMERAS

NBPD has deployed 69 Flock cameras city-wide (the largest municipal deployment in Orange County). Installation began at the end of October, 2024, with over 50 cameras in place at this point.

Flock cameras are license plate reading (LPR) cameras. These cameras can only be accessed by NBPD and will be used for police investigative purposes. They will allow for NBPD personnel to have immediate access to relevant video footage when investigating a crime.

Flock has been made available to all members of the PD including our Dispatchers, Parking Control Officers, Animal Control Officers, Crime Analyst, and all of our sworn personnel. There are 11 administrators who can add, delete and modify user permissions. These administrators are spread out across the ranks and working groups to ensure that any administrative issues/tasks may be resolved in the most timely and efficient manner possible.

All of the major ingress/egress points of the City are covered.

Newport Beach allows for the installation of LPR cameras on private property as well as the public right-of-way (subject to City approval via the Public Works Department) should individual HOA’s or groups wish to expand the LPR network within the city and/or tighten the LPR “dragnet” adjacent to their community.

Flock cameras are installed at Eastbluff entrances beginning in July, 2025, with direct connection to NBPD Crime Prevention.

Newport Beach PD CA uses Flock Safety technology to capture objective evidence without compromising on individual privacy. Newport Beach PD CA utilizes retroactive search to solve crimes after they've occurred. Additionally, Newport Beach PD CA utilizes real time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals. In an effort to ensure proper usage and guardrails are in place, they have made policies and usage statistics available to the public.

FLOCK CAMERA SUCCESS STORY!

I just wanted to give you a shout out on a recent success story we had with the new HOA Flock cameras installed in the ABC streets in Eastbluff. Det. Centeno had a commercial burglary that occurred the morning of 10/2/25 at the Mutts Restaurant/Bar next to Ralphs. We were able to identify a suspect vehicle through video surveillance cameras at the Boys and Girls Club and later captured the vehicle on the HOA Flock cameras in the area. We arrested 1 of the 3 suspects last week and we are working on warrants for the other 2 currently.
