The 14 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Des Peres, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 8 of them sit inside Des Peres itself.
The rest sit in Frontenac (3), Kirkwood (3).
7 of them name an operator in the record: Des Peres PD (4), Dierbergs Markets (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
