Automated License Plate Reader/ Flock Transparency Portal

The Dane County Sheriff's Office uses Flock Safety technology to capture objective evidence without compromising on individual privacy. The Sheriff's Office utilizes retroactive search to solve crimes after they've occurred. Additionally, the Dane County Sheriff's Office utilizes real time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals. In an effort to ensure proper usage and guardrails are in place, we are making the Dane County Sheriff's Office Transparency Portal available to the public.
