Flock & ALPR Cameras in Massillon, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 15 automated license plate readers in and around Massillon — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 15 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Massillon, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 12 of them sit inside Massillon itself.

The rest sit in Jackson Township (3).

1 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (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.

What’s watching Massillon

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