Flock Safety planned job cuts

Reuters reported on October 9 that Flock Safety plans to cut about 18% of its workforce, or roughly 270 jobs, citing people with direct knowledge of a plan that the AI-powered camera maker had not made public. The reported cuts would follow a voluntary buyout program, with affected employees expected to leave at the end of the month. Flock declined to comment. The company also faces criticism and legal challenges over the privacy implications of its license-plate reader network. Reuters did not establish that the opposition caused the planned job cuts.
