Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 6 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Shrewsbury, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 1 of them sits inside Shrewsbury itself.
The rest sit in Boylston (3), Worcester (2).
5 of them name an operator in the record: Worcester Police (2), Boylston Police (1), Fedex (1), Home Depot (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
