ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT FLOCK

After listening to feedback from members of our community, City Council, and the City Manager’s Office, the decision has been made not to move forward with the planned implementation of the Flock system.

We also want to clarify some confusion about the cameras currently operating in the area. GPD does not currently own or operate any Flock cameras. Several weeks ago, we announced plans to purchase 10 cameras, but those cameras have not been installed. Any Flock cameras currently visible in or around Greenville are privately owned or operated by another law enforcement agency.

We continue to believe that the use of technology is a valuable public safety tool. However, we also recognize the broader concerns and ongoing discussion surrounding the specific use of the Flock technology at this time, including questions about privacy, access to information and how the technology may be used.

Because the cameras have not yet been installed, and after considering the feedback we have received, we believe now is not the right time to move forward with implementation. We will continue to evaluate how technology can be used as a public safety measure, while balancing the community’s concerns related to privacy and information sharing.

Today marks the end of an era at the Greenville Police Department as Chief Richard Tyndall closes out more than 30 years of service in law enforcement.

Chief Tyndall has spent more than two decades of that career serving the Greenville community, leading with integrity, humility and a genuine commitment to the people around him. Throughout his career, he has been a steady presence, a trusted mentor and a leader who has always wanted to see others succeed.

His impact on this department extends far beyond the accomplishments of his career. It can be seen in the people he has mentored, the officers and employees he has supported, and the culture of service he has helped shape.

Chief, thank you for your leadership, your friendship and your unwavering dedication to GPD and the Greenville community. You leave this department better because you were part of it, and your impact will be felt here for many years to come.

Congratulations on a well-earned retirement, Chief Tyndall. We will miss you, but we are incredibly grateful for the legacy you leave behind. 💙
