Flock Safety kills acoustic system designed to detect 'human distress'

Flock Safety has decided to discontinue a voice-oriented component of its gunshot detection system. The company cited community consultation as one of the reasons for this decision, which was part of a system designed to detect human distress. The system is related to the company's automated license plate reader technology. Flock Safety's decision suggests that community feedback played a role in shaping the direction of its product development. The voice-oriented tech was intended to identify sounds of human distress, but it will no longer be part of the system. The company's primary focus remains on its automated license plate reader business.
