Flock & ALPR Cameras in Maricopa, Arizona

Volunteers have reported 43 automated license plate readers in and around Maricopa — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 45 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Maricopa, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 40 of them sit inside Maricopa itself.

The rest sit in Casa Grande (3).

33 of them name an operator in the record: Maricopa PD (33). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

2 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Maricopa

These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Maricopa — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Maricopa (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
