Investigation request

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been asked to investigate a Chatham County officer over the use of Flock license plate reader technology.

The request concerns possible misuse of the system. Flock license plate readers are used to capture vehicle license plate information, making the handling and use of that data a matter for review when concerns are raised.

What happens next

A GBI investigation, if opened, would determine whether the officer’s use of the technology violated any applicable rules or law. No finding by the GBI is established here.

The matter involves Chatham County and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Further action would depend on the GBI’s response to the request and any review it conducts.

What to watch

  • Whether the GBI opens an investigation.
  • Whether Chatham County announces an internal review or other action.
  • Any findings or decisions issued after the review.
