Kokomo officer charged over 18 Flock searches

## What happened A Kokomo police officer has been charged in connection with 18 searches of a private vehicle in the Flock system, investigators said. Flock is a system used to search records from vehicle-reading cameras.

The development involves the officer’s searches of information tied to one private vehicle. The charge and the number of searches are the central facts publicly identified in the report.

## What is not yet clear The specific criminal charge, the date of the searches, and the name of the officer have not been identified here. The available account also does not state whether the searches were authorized, what investigators allege the officer’s purpose was, or whether the officer has entered a plea.

Those details matter because a charge is an allegation, not a finding of guilt. Any court record or statement from Kokomo police, prosecutors or the officer’s attorney would add information about the case.

## The system involved Flock systems use vehicle information to help law enforcement search for cars. In this case, investigators focused on 18 searches involving a private vehicle. The report does not establish whether the searches produced any investigative lead or whether anyone else had access to the searches.
