Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 135 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Rockford, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 133 of them sit inside Rockford itself.
The rest sit in New Milford (2).
7 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (5), Lowe's (1), Rockford Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
