Flock & ALPR Cameras in Rossford, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 35 automated license plate readers in and around Rossford — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 35 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Rossford, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 8 of them sit inside Rossford itself.

The rest sit in Toledo (26), Northwood (1).

30 of them name an operator in the record: Toledo Police Department (11), University of Toledo Police Department (10), Rossford Police Department (9). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
