Flock & ALPR cameras in Louisiana
Public map data records 2,031 ALPR cameras inside Louisiana's borders as of 3 September 2026, run by 123 different operators. New Orleans is the largest single metro at 477. See every camera, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone — free, no account.
Louisiana records 2,031 mapped plate readers across 123 operators. East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office runs the largest share at 12%, ahead of Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office on 157. 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. 480 of the 2,031 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras.

The top of the Louisiana table is East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office at 240. What matters for anyone reading the map is how long the tail is — 123 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, 9 are privately operated.
Where the map has no operator tag, the operator is inferred from the surrounding jurisdiction; that applies to 1,529 of 2,031 cameras in Louisiana. Treat names as likely, not certain.

Where a mount is recorded, Louisiana's cameras sit on: pole (489), street lamp (17), post (12), wall (3). 1,863 of the 2,031 cameras have a recorded facing direction, which is what makes route avoidance possible — a camera with no bearing shows on the map but can't be avoided with any precision.
