AI for Public Good with OpenGov & Flock Safety

[Monty2026: Geopolitics, National Security, & Government] Zac Bookman (Co-Founder & CEO, OpenGov) and Garrett Langley (Founder & CEO, Flock Safety) in conversation with Wes Nichols (Partner, March Capital) Bookman and Langley describe how AI is transforming public safety and government operations. Flock Safety's camera network and LLM-powered 911 analysis helped apprehend roughly a million criminals last year, about 20% of all U.S. crimes solved, while OpenGov, competing with Tyler Technologies, is overhauling San Francisco's permitting system and helping Los Angeles prepare for a carless 2028 Olympics. Both CEOs frame acute government staffing shortages as the real driver of rapid AI adoption. On privacy, Langley argues AI should augment rather than replace human judgment, with humans initiating and concluding decisions while AI runs the analytical middle.
