ROCK FALLS
Body-worn cameras
The Illinois 2019 Body Worn Camera Report states that Rock Falls Police had 16 officers using 16 body-worn cameras and that supervisors conducted random monthly video audits. This is a historical inventory and is not treated as the current 2026 count.
Automated license plate readers
Official October 1, 2024 City Council minutes document a Flock Safety presentation for a license-plate-reader pilot program. A February 2026 Lee County Sheriff record later describes a stolen Rock Falls vehicle alerting on a Flock LPR, providing operational evidence of Flock use by that time. Current camera count, ownership, retention, and contract terms remain unresolved.
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.
