A Georgia police officer used Flock Safety's license plate tracking tool 56 times between March and May to monitor his ex and another officer, according to newly released documents. The officer, Dustin Bozzo, allegedly used the system to search for the license plate of his former romantic partner, a fellow Alpharetta Police Department officer, and then tracked another officer's vehicle after noticing it was often near his ex's car. Bozzo was placed on paid leave on July 20 and resigned on August 5 following an internal investigation. An ongoing criminal investigation is also underway.

According to internal documents, Bozzo admitted to a romantic relationship with a fellow officer that started in late 2025. The department separated the officers after multiple reports that they were frequently spending personal time together while on duty and not performing their assigned tasks. Despite the separation, the officers continued their relationship, with one sergeant reporting they met in a secluded park at 2:30 am while Bozzo was on duty. Bozzo claimed the relationship ended on good terms, but his Flock searches for the ex's vehicle began in early March.

The department's internal report shows that Bozzo used Flock to search for the ex's vehicle 56 times and the other officer's vehicle 29 times. He often selected 'Wanted Person' or 'Traffic Infraction' as the reason for his queries, according to the report. Bozzo claimed he was trying to ensure the ex had arrived home safely and began searching her uncle's license plate after learning she was borrowing his car. He also noted that the other officer's vehicle was often near his ex's car, prompting him to start tracking that vehicle as well.
