Flock & ALPR Cameras in Girard, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 12 automated license plate readers in and around Girard — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 12 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Girard, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 9 of them sit inside Girard itself.

The rest sit in Youngstown (3).

7 of them name an operator in the record: Girard Police Department (6), Youngstown Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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