If their campaigns are not called "Get the Flock out of here" someone failed marketing class.

I like "flock off", but there are all manner of possibilities. Flock, Ring - any of these systems that pass data automatically to entit[ies] outside a home/property owner are problematic. Even those that do not, I don't believe contribute much to actual safety.

Cops need to have their own version of malpractice insurance. Forcing the public to pay for lawsuits brought against corrupt/douchebag cops (of which there are quite a few) is insane and basically means that there's no incentive for these cops to be fired or removed since the department is never actually affected.

Civil suits brought against cops accused of misconduct ought to be required to be paid out of the police department budget. This has in fact been done successfully in some jurisdictions (success being calculated as an actual reduction in instances of misconduct).
