Flock & ALPR Cameras in Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Volunteers have reported 11 automated license plate readers in and around Stevens Point — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

On the record · Paused

Stevens Point is on the record here. WPR reported September 9, 2026 that Stevens Point covered 10 Flock cameras to stop collection. Mayor Mike Wiza said the city has no simple way to audit where Flock data goes once collected and that the community is not comfortable without assurances the cameras are used only as authorized. Part of the Wisconsin September cascade after Racine and Sheboygan data-sale disputes.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 11 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Stevens Point, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 9 of them sit inside Stevens Point itself.

The rest sit in Town of Carson (1), Town of Dewey (1).

9 of them name an operator in the record: Sentry Insurance (6), Flock Safety (1), Rivers Edge Campground (1), Stevens Point Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
