Flock & ALPR Cameras in Smyrna, Tennessee

Volunteers have reported 47 automated license plate readers in and around Smyrna — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 47 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Smyrna, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 40 of them sit inside Smyrna itself.

The rest sit in Murfreesboro (3).

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

4 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.
