Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 36 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Berwyn, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 22 of them sit inside Berwyn itself.
The rest sit in North Riverside (8), Riverside (3), Oak Park (2), Cicero (1).
1 of them name an operator in the record: Riverside IL PD (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
