The Norcross Police Department said one officer was terminated in June for misusing the Flock system. A second officer resigned several weeks later while under investigation for the same type of conduct, according to the department.

Police credited a newly added audit function in the Flock software with flagging the alleged misuse. The department did not release the officers' names.

"The City of Norcross and the Norcross Police Department will not tolerate egregious violations of policy and acts swiftly to remove personnel who choose to do so," police said in a statement.

The department said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has examined both officers' actions and that it has cooperated fully with those inquiries. Norcross police also said they have forwarded the findings of their own internal investigations to the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, the state body that certifies and disciplines law enforcement officers.

"Because they are ongoing investigations pending prosecution, further information will not be released," police said.

The case adds Norcross to a growing list of Georgia law enforcement agencies confronting allegations that officers used Flock cameras — automated systems that log license plates and vehicle locations — for purposes outside department policy. In recent months, agencies across the country, including several in Georgia, have fired or arrested officers accused of misusing the technology.

Earlier this month, DeKalb County leaders rejected a resolution that would have created independent oversight of Flock cameras. In late October, an investigator with the Barrow County Sheriff's Office was arrested on allegations of misusing Flock cameras, and in September the GBI announced the arrest of a former Hall County deputy on similar allegations. A fired detective drew attention in October after an attorney claimed he had used Flock to locate his wife during medical emergencies.

The disclosures have also raised questions about how the cameras are deployed. In October, Flock cameras installed in homeowners association neighborhoods came under new scrutiny.

For Norcross residents, the department's account leaves key details unresolved: what the officers are alleged to have done with the camera data, whether either will face criminal charges, and what the GBI and POST Council investigations ultimately conclude. The department has said only that the matters remain pending.

Flock Safety, which supplies the license plate reading technology to agencies nationwide, has increasingly marketed audit tools designed to detect improper searches. Norcross police said that function is what surfaced the conduct in this case.
