How to Find Flock Cameras Near You in Wisconsin

You can find every Flock camera near you for free, using tools built by privacy advocates and volunteers. In Price County, we’ve already done the work: 10 surveillance devices mapped across a county with fewer than 14,000 residents. Here’s how to do it yourself, anywhere in Wisconsin.

Tool 1: Deflock.org

Deflock.org (formerly deflock.me) is a free, volunteer-run interactive map that tracks known Flock camera locations using public records, press releases, and community tips. The map covers the entire United States.

To use it:

1. Go to maps.deflock.org. The map loads with camera locations displayed as colored dots.

2. Search for your area. Type your city, zip code, or county name in the search bar. Zoom in to see individual camera locations.

3. Click a dot for details. Each dot shows the agency name, camera type, and when the camera was reported. Some entries include contract dates and the agency that operates the camera.

**Deflock.org is the most comprehensive public Flock camera map, but it relies on community submissions.** Not every camera is listed. If you know of a camera that isn’t on the map, you can submit it through their website.

Tool 2: ALPR.watch

ALPR.watch is another camera tracking site, mentioned in the r/UnderReportedNews PSA that inspired this article. The site focuses on ALPR cameras broadly, not just Flock-brand devices. It includes cameras from other manufacturers and unbranded systems.

The site provides screenshots and data about camera deployments across the country. **It is less interactive than deflock.org but useful for verifying specific camera locations and researching deployment patterns.**

Tool 3: ALPRMaps.com

ALPRMaps.com provides a Flock Safety-specific map. The interface is similar to deflock.org but focuses exclusively on Flock-brand cameras. If you want to know whether a specific location has Flock cameras (as opposed to ALPR cameras from other manufacturers), this is the tool to use.

Price County’s Camera Map

We’ve already mapped Price County’s surveillance devices. Our research identified 10 total devices deployed across the county:

4 Flock ALPR cameras: Two in Phillips, two in Park Falls. These are the primary Flock-brand cameras that scan every passing license plate.

2 unbranded ALPR cameras: Located on Highway 8 east of Prentice. These may be from a different manufacturer but serve the same function.

4 gunshot detection devices: Two in Catawba, two in Prentice. These are acoustic sensors that detect gunfire and alert law enforcement.

**Our interactive map and infographic showing all 10 devices are available at pricecounty.fun/flock_infographic.html.** The map includes specific locations, the county board vote that approved them, and cost information.

How to File a Public Records Request for Cameras

Not every camera shows up on public maps. If you want a definitive answer about cameras in your area, file a public records request. Wisconsin Statute § 19.35 gives you the right to request government records.

Here is a template you can use:

“Pursuant to Wisconsin Statute § 19.35, I request the following records: Any and all contracts, purchase orders, or agreements between [your county/city] and Flock Safety, Inc. or any other ALPR vendor, including but not limited to: camera locations, deployment dates, data retention policies, data sharing agreements, and any correspondence with federal agencies regarding ALPR data access. This request covers records from January 1, 2023 to the present.”

Send this to your county clerk, sheriff’s office, or police department. Wisconsin law requires a response, though agencies vary in how quickly they respond and how much they redact.

Wisconsin Communities That Removed Flock Cameras

Not every community that installs Flock cameras keeps them. Several Wisconsin municipalities have ended their Flock contracts:

Verona ended its Flock contract after community pressure, as reported by Bolts Magazine. The city council voted to terminate the agreement after residents raised privacy concerns.

**Wisconsin Watch reported in May 2026 that “Flock loses another Wisconsin contract as AI surveillance backlash spreads.”** The article documented multiple communities reconsidering or ending their Flock deployments.

WPR reported that “Wisconsin communities end contracts with surveillance company Flock”** after public pressure over data sharing and privacy concerns.
