Documented surveillance systems.

DOCUMENTED

ALPR / Flock Safety

Flock ALPR network with 30-day retention

Woodstock Police states that it uses Flock Safety ALPR technology, retains ordinary plate data for 30 days, logs searches, and does not use the system for facial recognition. Exact camera locations are not publicly disclosed by the department.

DOCUMENTED

ALPR / fixed and mobile

Eight stationary Flock cameras deployed by late 2023; mobile ALPR history predates Flock

Woodstock capital records state that eight stationary Flock systems had been deployed by November 2023 and contemplated four additional stationary cameras. Earlier capital records document two Motorola Vigilant mobile ALPR systems. These are dated procurement/deployment records and are not combined into a claimed current 2026 camera total.

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.
