Flock & ALPR Cameras in Kenosha, Wisconsin
Volunteers have reported 29 automated license plate readers in and around Kenosha — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
On the record · Contract Canceled
Kenosha is on the record here. Kenosha Police Chief Patrick Patton said the department is ending its Flock Safety contract one year early and moving to Axon Outpost license-plate cameras under a broader roughly $14.6 million Axon technology contract. FOX6 reported Patton cited data-sharing, data-security, and undisclosed speed/movement tracking concerns. Kenosha PD said it found no local officer misuse of Flock. Axon sharing is planned for Wisconsin agencies and possibly neighboring Lake County, Illinois, not Flock's nationwide network.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 31 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Kenosha, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 24 of them sit inside Kenosha itself.
The rest sit in Pleasant Prairie (6), Town of Somers (1).
9 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (9). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Kenosha
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Kenosha — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Kenosha (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
