Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 8 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Plover, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Plover itself.

The rest sit in Village of Plover (5), Town of Plover (3).

6 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (4), Plover Police Department (1), Portage County Sheriff's Office (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
