The Richmonder · Graham Moomaw · April 30, 2026

A Richmond Police Department audit found that a sergeant violated department policy by sharing Flock camera vehicle data with an FBI agent investigating a Washington, D.C. homicide. Richmond policy prohibits sharing ALPR data with federal partners or agencies outside Virginia. The sergeant lost Flock access and the Commonwealth's Attorney declined prosecution. RPD operates roughly 100 Flock cameras.
