Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 3 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Cumberland Hill, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Cumberland Hill itself.

The rest sit in Cumberland (1), Lincoln (1), Woonsocket (1).

1 of them name an operator in the record: Rhode Island State Police (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
