Flock & ALPR Cameras in Erie, Colorado
Volunteers have reported 33 automated license plate readers in and around Erie — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 33 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Erie, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 26 of them sit inside Erie itself.
The rest sit in Thornton (4), Broomfield (2).
2 of them name an operator in the record: The Home Depot (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.
Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Erie
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 Erie — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Erie (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
