Flock & ALPR Cameras in Tallmadge, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 31 automated license plate readers in and around Tallmadge — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 31 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Tallmadge, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 19 of them sit inside Tallmadge itself.

The rest sit in Akron (12).

6 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (4), Akron Police Department (1), Tallmadge PD (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
