Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 27 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Montrose, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 9 of them sit inside Montrose itself.
The rest sit in Highland Springs (8), Richmond (6).
21 of them name an operator in the record: Henrico County Police Division (15), Flock Safety (3), Richmond Police Department (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
4 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.
