David Ulevitch, Garrett Langley, Kevin McMahill, Catherine

Flock Safety and Las Vegas law enforcement, led by Sheriff Kevin McMahill, have pioneered an integrated public-private safety network combining autonomous drones, gun-detection, and a localized camera grid to solve roughly 2,200 daily crimes while reducing officer-involved shootings from 25 to 6 annually. This reactive model prioritizes rapid response and data transparency, evidenced by Las Vegas achieving a 90% homicide clearance rate and communities in marginalized areas advocating for the technology's role in accountability. Backed by significant investment from Andreessen Horowitz, the system operates across 4,000 U.S. cities to deliver situational awareness within 30 seconds, effectively triaging 9,911 calls per minute and enabling near-total clearance of offenses in pilot programs.
