Colorado Newsline: Data collected by Flock Safety license plate readers across Denver was accessed in immigration-related national searches more than 1,400 times between June 2024 and April 2025, according to audit logs that Newsline obtained from the Denver Police Department. 

Flock users like Denver police can let local law enforcement agencies around the country search their Flock data, and Denver previously allowed national searches on its 111 cameras. When searchers, which are primarily out-of-state police departments, access the data, they are asked to enter a reason for the search. The Denver audit logs show that in many instances, those reasons were “ICE” or “immigration.” About 690 of the immigration-related searches happened after President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.

Denver turned off the national search feature in April due to concerns related to immigration enforcement.
