Conyers Police Dispatcher Supervisor Arrested for Misusing Flock License Plate Reader System
CONYERS, Ga. – A Conyers Police Department dispatcher supervisor has been arrested after investigators determined she allegedly used the department’s Flock Safety automated license plate reader system for personal reasons, according to the Conyers Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The investigation began after the Conyers Police Department conducted a proactive audit of its Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader system to ensure compliance with departmental policies.
During the audit, the department identified suspicious search activity involving 30-year-old Paige Dominic Forte, a supervisor assigned to the department’s Real-Time Crime Center.
According to police, an internal investigation determined Forte may have accessed the Flock system for purposes unrelated to legitimate law enforcement duties. Investigators allege she conducted multiple searches involving a vehicle driven by her domestic partner in an effort to determine his location.
After identifying the suspected misuse, the Conyers Police Department requested the Georgia Bureau of Investigation conduct an independent criminal investigation. Forte was placed on administrative leave while the department continued its internal review.
The GBI said preliminary findings indicate Forte accessed the Flock license plate reader system more than 30 times between April and July 2026 for non-law enforcement purposes.
On July 22, the GBI arrested Forte and charged her with Misuse of a License Plate Reader System. She was booked into the Rockdale County Jail.
Conyers Police Chief Scott Freeman said the department acted immediately after discovering the suspected policy violations and emphasized that maintaining public trust requires accountability and responsible use of investigative technology.
The department said the case demonstrates the effectiveness of its auditing and compliance procedures, which detected the alleged misuse during a routine review.
The Conyers Police Department’s internal investigation remains ongoing.
FLOCK cameras are credited with catching serious offenders. As an example, three armed teens were arrested in a stolen vehicle in Macon after a Flock Alert. Last year, a wanted Macon woman was arrested after a Flock camera alert. Unfortunately, the misuse of this data is concerning. On July 20th, three Richmond County deputies were arrested for using Flock camera data for personal use.
