Savannah officer fired for sharing Flock login with ICE agent husband

A Savannah police investigation found former officer Amber Harpe shared her Flock credentials with her husband Tyler Harpe, an ICE agent. Savannah police do not share Flock data with ICE, so the act violated departmental security protocols. Tyler Harpe ran 983 unauthorized queries covering 97 plates, most registered to Hispanic drivers. Interim Major Max Nowinsky initially recommended only an 8-hour suspension, but Major Michelle Halford and Assistant Police Chief Robert Gavin disagreed, and Harpe was fired. The internal investigation also found five other employees misusing Flock; all were fired, four later arrested (Harpe was not among those arrested). For city police departments procuring and operating plate-reader systems like Flock, the case shows shared logins directly bypass inter-agency data-isolation rules; permission grants and operation audits must be tied to individual accounts.
