LOCAL SURVEILLANCE · LAKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS
Lake County reports 52 incorporated cities and villages. This batch scaffolds every one and keeps Sheriff, municipal, and privately owned systems separate unless a source establishes agency access or ownership.
MUNICIPALITIES · OFFICIAL COUNTY DIRECTORY
Every incorporated city or village listed by Lake County now has a route. Seven currently have primary-record surveillance findings; the remainder are explicit research gaps, not claims of absence.

UAS / drones
Lake County Sheriff General Order 4.3.06, issued October 27, 2023, establishes rules for agency drone use and for storage, retrieval, and dissemination of images and data captured by the system. The policy establishes a program; NoRec does not infer a current aircraft count from the policy alone.
PUBLIC RECORDS · FOIA
Primary government records are preferred. Where practical, NoRec keeps a local archival copy alongside the official source so citations remain auditable if a government URL later changes.
