Flock & ALPR Cameras in Holland, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 24 automated license plate readers in and around Holland — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 24 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Holland, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 18 of them sit inside Holland itself.
The rest sit in Holland Charter Township (6).
7 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (7). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
