GEORGETOWN, Ind. - An Indiana State Police (ISP) investigation has led to the arrest of a Georgetown Police Department officer accused of improperly accessing Flock license‑plate recognition data.
On September 2, ISP detectives met with the Georgetown Police Chief after the chief was alerted to possible irregular search activity in the Flock system. An internal review showed that Officer Justin Craig conducted numerous searches in 2026 that did not appear connected to any authorized investigation.
ISP reviewed Flock logs and determined that Craig repeatedly conducted searches for traffic violations, drug offenses, assault, or vehicle theft, though no related investigations justified the activity. The searches occurred consistently during the suspect’s scheduled duty hours.
After reviewing documentation, time records, and system access logs, investigators determined that Craig accessed Flock information in a manner inconsistent with department policy and without lawful purpose. Detectives then sought an arrest warrant through the Floyd County Indiana Courts.
On October 22, the ISP SWAT Team served the warrant at the suspect’s residence, and he was taken into custody without incident.
Craig was charged with Official Misconduct (Level 6 Felony) and two counts of Fraud (Class A Misdemeanor).
This remains an active investigation.
