I believe OP was looking for proof of this assertion, not a marketing tweet. Gary’s just doing his job talking YC’s book, potentially to juice growth and sentiment before an IPO. But, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

> $275M at $7.5B valuation: Y Combinator’s Flock Safety to provide a public safety operating system that eliminates crime, eyeing an IPO

> To prepare for potential future public listing, Flock Safety has added Brandon Simins as CFO.

> Flock’s technology has proven instrumental in solving serious crimes, from homicides and assaults to human trafficking and organised retail crime. Notable successes include dismantling a human trafficking ring in Detroit, apprehending the Bay Bridge Shooter in San Francisco, and solving a $12 million jewelry theft in Denver. The company claims that its systems aid in 7% of successful criminal investigations in the United States, and in 2024, they stated that their devices “help to solve 10% of reported crime”.

They haven’t gotten a lot of great press lately. A lawsuit has been filed challenging the constitutionality of the surveillance system and Congress has opened an investigation.

This seems like a pretty suspicious account. Generic name, no personal ID, minimal engagement in threads and only political submissions.

You should review HN's guidelines if you want to stay unflagged in future discussions. Your current behavior probably won't fly.
