A Braselton Police Department officer was fired in August 2026 after an internal audit found he had improperly used the department’s Flock Safety license-plate reader system during 2024 and 2025. The department has not released the officer’s name, and the case has been referred to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation; no criminal charges have been reported at this time.
In response, Braselton PD cut Flock system access from 23 personnel down to 14, and now requires officers to log a case number and written justification for every search, with weekly audit reviews.
Braselton, Georgia sits primarily in Jackson County, though the town’s boundaries also touch Barrow, Gwinnett, and Hall counties.
