Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 19 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Highland Park, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 16 of them sit inside Highland Park itself.
The rest sit in Northbrook (2), Northfield Township (1).
11 of them name an operator in the record: Highland Park Police Department (9), Chantilly HOA (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
