Consensus Brief

Flock Safety has introduced a voluntary employee buyout program, offering what it describes as its most generous severance packages to date. The company anticipates that a significant portion of its 1,500 employees will opt for these buyouts due to ongoing backlash against its license plate recognition technology. This move comes as an alternative to potential layoffs, which the company would face without the buyouts.
