Kokomo Indiana's Flock Safety Camera Locations
The short version: Howard County Observer maps 21 Flock cameras in Kokomo, Indiana, giving residents a rare local look at how saturated their small city already is.
Our Take
Twenty-one ALPR cameras in a city the size of Kokomo isn't a typo — it's a pattern we see over and over as Flock Safety sells small and mid-size police departments on the idea that blanket coverage is just "modern policing." Credit goes to Howard County Observer for doing the unglamorous work of actually driving around and documenting where these cameras sit, because Flock and local PR departments almost never volunteer that information in a format regular people can use.
This kind of grassroots mapping matters more than it might seem. Most residents have no idea their daily commute is being logged, time-stamped, and run against a database every single time they leave the house. When a camera count that high shows up in a town of Kokomo's size, it's worth asking who approved it, what policy governs retention and sharing, and whether the city council ever had a real public debate before rollout.
If you're in Indiana or anywhere else wondering what's watching your own street, check our camera map to see what's been documented near you, and visit our take-action page if you want to push back at your next city council meeting.
