Send us Fan MailWhat the Flock is going on? Thanks for joining me and my partner in crime, retired 20-year veteran detective of the NYPD, podcaster, and author, Marique Bartoldus, for the conclusion of our discussion on Flock cameras and our thoughts on the Lindsey Clancy case. A little bit about Marique. Monz attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where she graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in Police Science. Shortly after graduating, she was sworn into the NYPD. She was assigned to multiple units within the Precinct, including Patrol, Conditions, SNEU, Anti-Crime, and Field Intelligence, then left the 105th Precinct and became one of the first detectives assigned to the Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad, where she investigated dog fighting and animal cruelty complaints throughout New York City. She returned to the 105th Precinct, where she ended her career assigned to the Intelligence Bureau, investigating illegal firearm and narcotics sales and possession. She effected 400 arrests and executed hundreds of search warrants during her distinguished twenty-year career. Monz hosts the popular “Monz on the Mic” podcast and recently published Twenty and Out: A compilation of chaos experienced while serving 20 years in the New York City Police Department, and I can’t recommend this book enough. Please enjoy this informative look at the Flock hype and misinformation and stick around for our dive into the Lindsey Clancy debacle. In today’s episode, we discuss:· How police used Flock cameras to track down the suspect in the mass shooting at Brown University.· Albuquerque PD (using its own in-house ALPR system, not Flock) says the readers have helped solve 13 murder cases so far in 2026.· After a police officer in Oklahoma was shot, agencies mobilized across state lines, and Flock cameras in Grants, New Mexico confirmed the suspect's vehicle had entered the area, letting officers make an arrest.· November 2022 an officer at a real-time crime center got a hit on a missing woman's vehicle within 30 minutes of entering her plate — a camera captured the plate, letting the officer locate the vehicle live and direct patrol units to her location, safely reuniting her with her family.· Flock says its system supported roughly 1 million law enforcement investigations last year and helped locate more than 10,000 missing persons, and its CEO has argued the tech was a "big part" of the recent nationwide decline in crime. · Recently in Oconomowoc, Flock cameras were instrumental in solving a fatal hit-and-run. · Chicago getting rid of ShotSpotter.· The remarkably ignorant remarks from the jurors in the Lindsey Clancy trial.· The dangerous precedent this case can have for women in future cases and how they will be treated in the workplace.All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Check out Marique's Amazon Author Page.Head on over to Monz on the Mic Podcast!Visit the Cops & Writers Website!Most people call 911 on the worst day of their lives.
