9NEWS: The Loveland Police Department is sharing access to its automated license plate reader system with U.S. Border Patrol, 9NEWS has learned through an open records request.

Flock Safety, the private camera company, says U.S. Border Patrol is not a Flock customer and is not on the nationwide Flock data network, which Loveland has opted into. Instead, Flock says, Loveland Police and U.S. Border Patrol have an outside one-to-one agreement.

“This was in fact a 1-to-1 sharing relationship with Loveland, Colorado,” a Flock spokesperson said. Immigration enforcement agencies like ICE, Border Patrol and CBP do not have direct access to the Flock network, Flock said. The company is exploring when the sharing agreement may have begun or how it was initiated.
