Flock & ALPR Cameras in Saint Charles, Missouri

Volunteers have reported 75 automated license plate readers in and around Saint Charles — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 75 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Saint Charles, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 58 of them sit inside Saint Charles itself.

The rest sit in Maryland Heights (7), Saint Peters (1).

58 of them name an operator in the record: St. Charles County PD (48), Dierbergs Markets (4), St. Charles City PD (4), Lowe's (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

9 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Saint Charles

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