00:00Did you run these flocks?
00:01I didn't.
00:02Okay, who did?
00:02My husband.
00:03He's an ICE agent, Federal Department of Homeland Security.
00:06That's former Savannah Police Officer Amber Harp admitting she gave her husband, a federal ICE agent, access to Savannah Police
00:14Department's flock surveillance system.
00:17Harp was fired in August, along with five other SPD employees, after an internal investigation uncovered flock misuse.
00:25Four of those employees were later arrested and charged by the GBI.
00:30Harp was not among them.
00:32And until now, her name had not been publicly identified as one of the employees fired.
00:37Now, WJCL 22 News Investigates has obtained internal records and interviews in which Harp and her husband acknowledged that her
00:45account was used for ICE-related searches.
00:47Every name that I ever ran was an ICE target.
00:51An internal investigation found, between January and July, Harp's account was used for 983 searches, involving 97 license plates.
01:01This spanned across six states.
01:02That includes Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
01:08Now, as you can see, South Carolina counted for 788 of those flock searches.
01:13Investigators found that most of the registered owners of the vehicle searched were Hispanic.
01:18I asked her if I could have her flock log in, and she asked what I was going to be
01:21using it for.
01:22And I told her that once we had already developed target packages for people that had arrest warrants, it would
01:28be easier while we're out on the street to be able to locate them.
01:30Further records we've obtained show Savannah police share their flock data with more than 1,700 agencies, but Immigration and
01:38Customs Enforcement is not listed as one.
01:40Okay, so your husband's an ICE agent. Does he have access to flock as an ICE agent?
01:45No, he does not.
01:46He does not.
01:47They don't have flock?
01:48No.
01:48That's surprising they don't have access to flock.
01:50No one really wants to work with them, sir.
01:52I'm hoping that nothing too bad comes out on this as far as it just being a policy violation, but
02:00I mean the tool actually helped our agency get people off the street.
