The baseline comes from the Illinois State Archives local-government index, supplemented by Ogle County's own yearbook where the state index is incomplete for current incorporated geography. Rockford and Rochelle are marked as cross-county municipalities.

RESEARCH NEEDED

County surveillance inventory not yet established.

NoRec has not yet reviewed enough primary records to publish a current Ogle County Sheriff inventory for ALPRs, fixed cameras, drones, social-media analytics, facial recognition, or related surveillance systems. Unknown means unverified, not absent.

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.
