Flock & ALPR Cameras in Mansfield, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 25 automated license plate readers in and around Mansfield — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 25 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Mansfield, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 23 of them sit inside Mansfield itself.

The rest sit in Madison Township (2).

3 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
