The CU Boulder Police department is launching a new program to help deter and investigate crime. Solar-powered Flock Safety cameras are popping up on poles in strategic locations on campus to help police respond more quickly to the presence of suspicious vehicles.

Flock Safety auto-deletes all data not used in investigations every 30 days to preserve the privacy of law-abiding citizens. Other Boulder County law enforcement agencies also utilize the technology, which was recently lauded for helping investigate a car theft and drug ring, resulting in eight indictments.
