Now CEO Garrett Langley has both police tech giant Axon and Chinese drone maker DJI in his sights on the way to his noble (if Sisyphean) goal: Preventing all crime in the U.S.<br><div>Langley estimates its cameras help solve 1 million crimes a year. Soon they’ll help solve even more. In August, Flock’s cameras will take to the skies mounted on its own “made in America” drones.</div><div>Langley offers a prediction: In less than 10 years, Flock’s cameras,
airborne and fixed, will eradicate almost all crime in the U.S.</div><div><br></div><div>Not everyone shares law enforcement’s enthusiasm for Flock’s rapid
