LOCAL SURVEILLANCE · DIXON, ILLINOIS

Dixon

Municipal findings for the City of Dixon. Lee County Sheriff systems are documented separately on the county page even when county-owned equipment is physically located inside Dixon.

CITY OF DIXON

Documented surveillance-related systems.

DOCUMENTED

Drones / thermal imaging

Thermal-imaging drone used by Dixon Fire Department

The City of Dixon reported that its Fire Department received a thermal-imaging drone and used it during a large fire. The City also reported police officers and firefighters were scheduled for drone-license training. This finding is municipal but is not evidence of a Dixon Police Department ALPR inventory.

OWNERSHIP MATTERS

County Flock readers are not Dixon Police readers by default.

Lee County Sheriff Flock use is documented at the county level. A camera physically located within Dixon does not become a Dixon Police Department asset without a primary record identifying Dixon as owner/operator. NoRec therefore does not copy the county's camera count into this city dossier.

PUBLIC RECORDS · FOIA

Records and official sources.

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.

UNRESOLVED

What still needs primary records.

  • Whether Dixon Police owns or subscribes to any ALPR system independently of Lee County.
  • Current police/fire drone inventory, ownership, payloads, flight logs, and policies.
  • Body-worn and in-car camera systems, retention, and evidence-storage contracts.
  • Fixed-camera networks, social-media analytics, facial recognition, and investigative software.
