The Opportunity

As Flock Safety continues to innovate and expand, our development of sophisticated technology—especially in areas like drones as first responder, license plate readers, and other public safety tools—has made it crucial to stay ahead in the policy landscape. This role is pivotal to ensuring that Flock Safety complies with federal, state, and local laws, while also advocating for policies that allow the business to operate smoothly. The policy team tackles the tough issues – privacy, safety, crime, ethics, and advancing technologies like artificial intelligence. 

The Policy Manager will support Flock’s work on legislation and regulation of public safety technologies with a particular focus on federal policy and compliance with state-by-state regulations. This role will also provide cross functional research support to the Legal, External Affairs, and PR teams - including both legal and criminology research. 

This position will join a strong legal team and report to the Director of Policy.
