• Armed Home Invaders, A Hit-and-Run And A 120 MPH Chase: How Flock Cameras Delivered In Washington County (wisconsinrightnow.com) — Richfield residents are learning how license-plate-reading Flock cameras helped crack a terrifying 2023 armed home invasion against an elderly couple in the village, quickly identifying suspects from a blurry SUV video. The story also details how the same technology narrowed a serious hit-and-run investigation and safely ended a 120 mph chase near Jackson and West Bend. Local deputies say Flock both catches suspects and spares innocent drivers unnecessary scrutiny.
