Flock Cameras in Tulsa, OK: Locations, Map & Count

Tulsa Police Department runs 195 mapped cameras here, 40% of the metro — 51st-highest concentration of the 251 metros tracked. Owasso Police follows with 25.

Private businesses appear on Tulsa's map: The Home Depot (10), Lowe's Home Improvement (9), Lowe's (4) sit inside the twenty largest operators, and of the cameras with a recorded operator type, 14 are privately run rather than public. Those cameras are not run by any police agency, though their reads can be shared.

For the thing that actually matters when routing, Tulsa is well documented: 472 of its 493 mapped cameras — 96% — record which way they face, ranking 48th of 251 on bearing coverage.

Public records cover 7 agencies around Tulsa in the EFF Atlas of Surveillance against 45 operators on the map — the difference between a records project and a mapping project, not a contradiction.

The network is regional rather than municipal. Beyond Tulsa Police Department, the operator table runs through Owasso Police, Broken Arrow Police Department, Bixby Police Department, Jenks Police Department and Sand Springs Police Department, with the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office at 7 — none of which individually dominates the metro.

Read from the live map on 13 October 2026. Since 5 October 2026 the 10-mile count moved from 296 to 286 (-10) and the metro-box count moved from 499 to 493 (-6). The underlying records are OpenStreetMap entries plus community submissions — nobody who operates a camera is obliged to declare it, so these are the documented minimum rather than the full picture. The metro is a box roughly 50 miles across centred on Tulsa.

Tulsa ranks 103rd of the 251 metro areas BanditKin tracks by mapped cameras, between Tucson, AZ and Savannah, GA, and 64th by operator count.

Mid-table on size; 48th of 251 on bearing coverage at 96%, and 51st on lead-operator share at 40%.

Ranked against the 251 metro areas BanditKin tracks, every one read from the live map on 13 October 2026. Metro areas are drawn as a box around the city centre, so neighbouring metros can share cameras and these counts must never be added together.

These are the 20 largest of 45 operators. Where OpenStreetMap names an operator we use that name; otherwise the camera is attributed to whichever jurisdiction it stands in (161 cameras here), which is a sound inference rather than a confirmed fact. 114 cameras record no operator of any kind.

Manufacturer is a free-text field, so spellings and legal names have been consolidated here. 101 of 493 mapped cameras name no manufacturer at all, which makes the actual distribution broader than shown. These count cameras on the map, not purchase orders.

They are easy to miss and hard to unsee — a small rectangular box on a narrow pole near a junction, generally with a solar panel and a stubby barrel lens. Where the data records how a camera around Tulsa is mounted, the split is:

One camera covers one approach, so its heading is what decides which journeys end up recorded. Around Tulsa the mapped bearings distribute like this:

Bearings come from public map data and describe an approximate capture zone, never an exact field of view. 21 mapped cameras have no recorded bearing.
