Indianapolis, IN, August 15, 2026 —
Garrett Langley, founder and CEO of Flock Safety, has suggested that the company’s license plate reading camera technology could have potentially assisted in the investigation of the February disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie.
Nancy Guthrie went missing from Pima County, Arizona, in February. According to available information, Pima County does not currently employ Flock Safety cameras. Langley’s remarks surface as public discourse continues regarding the deployment and associated privacy considerations of Flock’s extensive network of license plate readers.
The comments from Langley highlight a potential application of Flock Safety’s technology in missing person investigations. The company’s system captures images of license plates, which can then be used to track vehicle movements. This data, Langley implies, could be a valuable tool for law enforcement agencies seeking to locate individuals or gather information during investigations.
However, the discussion around Flock Safety’s cameras also involves significant privacy concerns. Critics have raised questions about the potential for surveillance and the scope of data collection. The ongoing debate centers on balancing the potential public safety benefits of such technology against individual privacy rights and the possibility of misuse.
The specific details of the Nancy Guthrie case and any potential impact Flock’s technology might have had were not elaborated upon by Langley beyond the general statement. Information regarding the current status of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department’s investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance was not provided.
Flock Safety’s technology is utilized by law enforcement agencies across the United States, with its license plate readers deployed in numerous communities. The company maintains that its products are designed to help solve crimes and improve public safety.
