Flock & ALPR Cameras in Romulus, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 59 automated license plate readers in and around Romulus — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 59 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Romulus, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 45 of them sit inside Romulus itself.
The rest sit in Van Buren Charter Township (10), Huron Charter Township (4).
57 of them name an operator in the record: Wayne County Airport Authority (21), Romulus Police Department (17), Van Buren Township Police Department (9), Huron Township Police Department (5), Sheraton Detroit Metro Airport (4), Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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