Flock & ALPR cameras in Arkansas
Public map data records 1,218 ALPR cameras inside Arkansas's borders as of 3 September 2026, run by 118 different operators. The Little Rock area alone accounts for 358 of them. See every camera, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone — free, no account.
The 1,218 cameras mapped in Arkansas belong to 118 operators, with Little Rock Police Department at the top on 80. That makes the state widely spread by ALPR standards. Because these are counted inside the border rather than by metro box, the number is directly comparable with other states on this site. 369 of the 1,218 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras.

Can I avoid Flock cameras when driving in Arkansas?
Yes, within limits. BanditKin routes around cameras whose facing direction is known — 1,079 of Arkansas's 1,218 — with a slider for how hard to try, and it tells you honestly when no camera-free route exists. It is off by default and never sends your identity or location.
