Flock & ALPR Cameras in Newtown, Connecticut
Volunteers have reported 13 automated license plate readers in and around Newtown — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 13 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Newtown, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 12 of them sit inside Newtown itself.
The rest sit in Monroe (1).
11 of them name an operator in the record: Newtown Police Department (10), Monroe Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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