Does Alexandria have Flock cameras?
Yes, as of its portal snapshot. Alexandria VA PD’s Flock transparency portal listed 18 Flock Safety license plate readers when The News & Observer captured it, between July 2023 and April 2024. On October 5, 2026, FlockDetour’s map showed 59 plate readers within 2 miles of Alexandria’s center. The live portal has the agency’s current figures.

Counted October 5, 2026 within 2 miles of the center of Alexandria, a circle the size of its land area. A circle is not the legal boundary, so it can include cameras run by neighboring agencies or businesses, and it cannot show unmapped or mobile readers.
What the portal listed in 2023-24
- Cameras listed
- 18
- Days of retention listed
- 30
The portal listed a retention period of 30 days, after which plate reads are deleted. Retention is the number that decides how much of your ordinary driving is searchable at any moment — a 30-day window means a month of your movements, not just the day you were near a camera.
A blank field means the portal did not publish that number, not that it was zero. Figures can have changed since 2024; the live portal is the current source.

Where these figures come from
Flock Safety publishes a transparency portal for each customer agency. The portal figures above were captured by The News & Observer / McClatchy (private_eyes) between July 2023 and April 2024 and are shown unchanged. Where the live portal differs, the portal is right. The mapped count comes from FlockDetour’s own public camera data, counted October 5, 2026.
