An audit tied 983 searches and 97 plates across six states to her shared account before she was fired.

WJCL reports that former Savannah police officer Amber Harpe gave her Flock license-plate-reader username and password to her husband, ICE agent Tyler Harpe, who did not have his own DHS Flock account. An audit of January through July 2026 found 983 search entries on 97 plates from six states, mostly South Carolina. Savannah police fired her for knowingly sharing access. Her husband told investigators the searches targeted people with active warrants and were not personal.

Unconfirmed: The claim that every search targeted people with active ICE warrants is the husband’s account to investigators.

Key facts
  • Forty-eight South Carolina plates accounted for 788 of the search entries.
  • Documents noted most identified registered owners in the audit were Hispanic.
  • Harpe said she mainly used Flock for missing-person cases and rarely searched herself.
  • The husband’s name is redacted in documents but identified as Tyler Harpe in interview audio.
