- Capt. Jeff Jordon oversaw San Diego's surveillance technology before retiring.
- After retirement, Jordon was hired by Flock Safety, a company he recommended for a city contract.
- Flock Safety received a $3.5 million contract, partly due to Jordon's recommendation.
- Ethics rules prohibit former employees from lobbying the city for one year, but Jordon isn't currently lobbying.
- Concerns raised about public officials joining companies they previously worked with in government roles.
- Flock Safety has a history of paying public officials in areas where they operate.
- No evidence Jordon received payments from Flock before being hired.
