Flock Safety announced that their drones, previously utilized mainly by police departments, are now available for private-sector security applications. This development allows businesses, particularly retailers, to combat shoplifting more effectively by leveraging drone technology. Companies can set up Flock’s drone docking stations on their premises, providing a new layer of surveillance and deterrence against theft.
This shift towards using drones in retail raises several implications. It may improve security response times and help in gathering evidence of theft. However, it also introduces potential privacy concerns, as continuous surveillance can lead to discomfort among customers. Businesses will need to manage these risks carefully to ensure that while they enhance security, they do not infringe on individual privacy rights.
