An independent audit of how your department uses its plate readers.

This is not a finding of wrongdoing. It is a set of questions your own supervisors can answer, produced by arithmetic you can check on your own exported data. Your logs are hashed on intake and destroyed once your reports are delivered.

Flock cannot audit Flock, and no vendor can credibly audit its own system. CivicAttest is a structurally independent review: we take the search log your ALPR system already exports, run it through a deterministic engine, and hand back a report that points a reviewer at the handful of patterns worth a second look, each one printed beside a plain-language innocent explanation. The tool asks the questions, and your command staff makes every decision.

Why chiefs take the meeting

1. It defends you when the question comes. An annual independent audit on the record answers a records request, a council question, or a lawsuit. It is proof you were watching before anyone asked.
2. It accuses no one of anything. Every item is a question with its own innocent explanation attached. On clean data the engine reports nothing about any individual.
3. Your data is hashed on intake and then destroyed. Plate numbers are one-way hashed the instant we receive your export, and we delete the file once your reports are delivered.
4. There is no AI in it. No model, no black box, and no data sent to anyone's API. Arithmetic a reviewer can recompute by hand and defend in a hearing.

The full 40-test methodology, covering every phase, every fix, every miss, and the one asterisk we refuse to drop until a fresh frozen batch earns it, is published in full. We lead with our limitations because an audit that hides its own is not an audit. Ask and we'll send the complete record.
