A periodic audit found that a civilian University of Georgia Police Department IT employee used the Flock ALPR database twice in 2025 without supervisor authorization. One search involved a hit-and-run in which a family member’s vehicle was struck; the other involved a theft at a local business. The incidents were off campus and had been reported to other law-enforcement agencies, but those agencies had not requested the employee’s assistance.
