Flock & ALPR Cameras in Springdale, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 19 automated license plate readers in and around Springdale — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 19 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Springdale, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 9 of them sit inside Springdale itself.

The rest sit in Forest Park (4), Fairfield (3), West Chester Township (3).

4 of them name an operator in the record: Forest Park PD (2), Springdale PD (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Springdale
