Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 68 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Oak Park, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 10 of them sit inside Oak Park itself.
The rest sit in Detroit (56), Southfield (2).
58 of them name an operator in the record: Detroit Police Department (38), Oak Park Police Department (6), Michigan State Police (5), FedEx (3), Southfield Police Department (3), The Home Depot (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
