Georgia Officer Resigns After Using Flock Surveillance to Track Ex and Colleague

A former Georgia police officer used automated license plate readers to repeatedly track the vehicles of his ex-girlfriend and another officer. The surveillance occurred between March and May, leading to an internal investigation and his resignation. The department says a criminal investigation is still underway.

The internal investigation documented that Bozzo ran 56 searches on his former partner's license plate and 29 on the second officer's vehicle over a three-month span. He told investigators the tracking began after he noticed the other officer's car frequently appeared near his ex's location, though he denied any intent to threaten or harass either person.

The case adds to a growing national pattern of Flock misuse, with at least 45 similar incidents documented involving officers targeting romantic partners. Alpharetta placed Bozzo on paid leave in late July, and he resigned in early August. The department's criminal investigations division continues to examine the case, while Flock Safety declined to comment on the incident.
