Harvey's Surveillance Tech Under Scrutiny | Chicago News

Harvey, Illinois, is leading the nation in police surveillance with Flock’s cutting-edge tech—drones, cameras, and real-time crime centers—claiming it’s slashed crime and sped up emergency responses after storms. Police say the system monitors locations, not people, and data is tightly controlled, with no facial recognition and strict 30-day retention limits. But critics warn of privacy risks, misidentifications, and misuse—even as Flock adds safeguards. Despite backlash, Harvey remains committed, calling it essential for public safety across fire, EMS, and law enforcement.
