Flock & ALPR Cameras in Ecorse, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 12 automated license plate readers in and around Ecorse — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 12 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Ecorse, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 8 of them sit inside Ecorse itself.
The rest sit in Lincoln Park (2), Wyandotte (2).
6 of them name an operator in the record: Ecorse Police Department (4), Simon Property Group (1), Wyandotte Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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