Allentown, the third-largest city in Pennsylvania, is home to over 120,000 residents.<\/p>\n

In a recent press conference, Mayor Matt Tuerk and Chief of Police Charles Roca shared details on their initiative to shape a safer community through the use of advanced technology.<\/a><\/p>\n

With grant funding awarded by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency<\/a>, Allentown has installed 67 Flock Safety Falcon\u00ae LPR Cameras and is in the process of deploying Flock Safety Raven\u00ae audio detection devices that will cover 1 square mile of the city.<\/p>\n

As gunshots tend to be underreported across the country, such is the case in Allentown. The deployment of Flock Safety Raven\u00ae<\/a> audio detection devices will allow Allentown Police Department to locate and respond to gun-related crimes almost immediately. With alerts in less than 60-seconds, Flock Safety Raven\u00ae audio detection will allow Allentown PD to quickly dispatch officers to locate victims, secure the scene, and preserve critical evidence.<\/p>\n

In addition to the vital role that gunshot detection will play in keeping the community safe, Flock Safety Falcon\u00ae LPR cameras have been deployed to provide enhanced situational awareness and real-time alerts for officers in the field, already helping to solve a crime involving a stolen vehicle in the area.<\/p>\n

Flock Safety is proud to be a part of Allentown\u2019s mission to \u201ccreate a safer, clean, and healthy environment that supports the wellbeing and success of\u2026residents and businesses,\u201d aligning with our own mission to shape a safer future, together.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
