Two Norcross police officers accused of misusing the city’s Flock Safety license-plate reader system are no longer with the department, which says investigations remain ongoing and pending prosecution.
The department said Friday that one officer was fired in June for misuse of the system. A second officer resigned weeks afterward while under investigation for alleged misuse. Police have not released either officer’s identity.
According to Norcross police, an audit feature recently added to Flock software flagged the alleged misuse. The department said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation investigated both officers’ actions. Police also said they cooperated with the GBI and provided findings from their internal investigations to the Georgia Peace Officer Standards & Training Council.
The department said it would not release more information while the investigations continue and prosecution is pending. In a statement, it said it takes swift action against personnel responsible for what it called “egregious violations of policy.”
