The Largest Public Archive of Police Surveillance News · Flock, ALPR, Axon, Facial Recognition, Drones · Updated Hourly
The National Record Index
We have logged 79,012 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.
Need this news archive for your work?
We provide free custom extracts of everything we track: camera locations, brands, operators, dates, agencies, council agendas, and news coverage, for researchers, journalists, students, and advocates. Tell us the geography, time window, and format you need, and we’ll pull it for you. No charge, no strings.
