Savannah officer fired after sharing Flock login with ICE husband

A former Savannah police officer, Amber Harpe, was fired in August following a department investigation that found she had shared her Flock login information with her husband, Tyler Harpe, an ICE agent. The Savannah Police Department says it does not share its Flock data with ICE and that sharing access to the system violated its security protocols.

For anyone working in public safety, government IT, or security, the lesson is practical: access controls on surveillance platforms matter as much as the data policies written around them. A credential shared with someone outside the intended circle can create risk even when no data is formally transferred. Agencies should review account sharing, audit logs, and personal-relationship conflicts as part of routine governance.
