Flock & ALPR Cameras in Peoria, Illinois

Volunteers have reported 32 automated license plate readers in and around Peoria — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 31 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Peoria, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 20 of them sit inside Peoria itself.

The rest sit in East Peoria (11).

7 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (4), Lowe's (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Peoria

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