Flock & ALPR Cameras in Northglenn, Colorado

Volunteers have reported 67 automated license plate readers in and around Northglenn — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 68 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Northglenn, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 43 of them sit inside Northglenn itself.

The rest sit in Thornton (13), Westminster (7), Broomfield (5).

5 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (3), Broomfield Police Department (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
