Flock & ALPR Cameras in Poland, Ohio
Volunteers have reported 11 automated license plate readers in and around Poland — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 11 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Poland, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 3 of them sit inside Poland itself.
The rest sit in Boardman Township (7), Poland Township (1).
9 of them name an operator in the record: Boardman Police Department (4), Poland Village Police Department (3), Lowe's (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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