Flock & ALPR Cameras in Grand Terrace, California

Volunteers have reported 37 automated license plate readers in and around Grand Terrace — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 37 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Grand Terrace, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 21 of them sit inside Grand Terrace itself.

The rest sit in Colton (7).

3 of them name an operator in the record: San Bernardino County Sheriff (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

9 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

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