The Largest Public Archive of Police Surveillance News · Flock, ALPR, Axon, Facial Recognition, Drones · Updated Hourly

Facial Recognition — The National Record Index

We have logged 75,596 headlines and public records since July 2003, drawn from a monitored network of 32,224+ sources — every Flock, ALPR, Axon and Fusus, facial recognition, gunshot detection, drone, and phone-tracking story we track, sorted into streams.

We are the first source to report
  • Newly reported camera locations — anywhere in America, in this index within the hour.
  • ALPR votes before they happen — they surface here early, not after the cameras go up.

Filter it, search it, cite it. Links go to the original source; our original news lives here.

Free Data Access

Tell us the geography, time window, and format you need, and we’ll pull it for you. No charge, no strings.
