Flock & ALPR Cameras in Independence, Kentucky
No cameras reported in and around Independence — yet. That usually means nobody has checked, not that the roads are clear. Be the one who looks.
On the record · Contract Canceled
Independence is on the record here. WLWT reported August 31, 2026 that Independence deactivated its Flock cameras a week after Mayor Chris Reinersman announced they would come down. Poles stay until Flock removes the hardware. WCPO reported the mayor's notice after an August 17 meeting. Camera counts in that coverage conflict, so none is listed here.
