Flock camera use by internal affairs unit puts DC police at odds with officers’ union

Washington, D.C.'s police department deployed Flock cameras to gather evidence for internal affairs misconduct investigations. The officers' union filed a formal complaint against this use of the surveillance technology.

Why it matters: Law enforcement agencies and their personnel must understand policies governing surveillance camera data access; officers' concerns about internal use of Flock footage may signal broader governance gaps in camera data handling that affect other jurisdictions.
