FLOCK CAMERA MAP — ARIZONA

Flock Cameras in Arizona: Map, Locations & Count

As of 13 October 2026, 3,062 Flock and ALPR cameras are mapped inside Arizona's borders (2,539 tagged Flock Safety), run by 104 operators. The densest cluster is Phoenix, at 1,271 mapped cameras. See every camera on the live map below, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone. Free, no account.

Arizona records 3,062 mapped plate readers across 104 operators. Tucson Police Department runs the largest share at 8%, ahead of Chandler Police Department on 109. Every count on this page is measured inside the state line, so it's a floor for the state — not an estimate stitched together from overlapping city boxes. 733 of the 3,062 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras. Since 5 October 2026 the in-state count moved from 3,039 to 3,062 (+23).

Phoenix, Tucson have full pages with operator, vendor and direction breakdowns; the other metros are covered by the live map. These are bounding-box reads around each city, useful for comparing metros but not for adding together — boxes overlap and spill across state lines. The headline figure is counted inside the border and is the honest state total.

WHO RUNS THEM

The largest ALPR operators in Arizona

The lead agency runs 8%; here is the rest of the top eight.

Tucson Police Department

246 cameras

Chandler Police Department

109 cameras

Mesa Police Department

102 cameras

Scottsdale Police Department

100 cameras

Casa Grande Police Department

96 cameras

Peoria Police Department

Phoenix Police Department

The top of the Arizona table is Tucson Police Department at 246. What matters for anyone reading the map is how long the tail is — 104 operators in total, so most cameras belong to agencies that individually run only a handful. Private businesses appear too: of the cameras with a recorded operator type, 37 are privately operated.

Where the map has no operator tag, the operator is inferred from the surrounding jurisdiction; that applies to 1,868 of 3,062 cameras in Arizona. Treat names as likely, not certain.
