Flock cameras in Miami: which agency, which date and which road?

A Miami-centered map crosses municipal boundaries

The snapshot contains 373 ALPR-class source records: 247 attributed to Flock and 126 attributed to other vendors or without a vendor attribution. Retrieved October 3, 2026 at 13:54 UTC, it covers a 10-mile circle around 25.7617, -80.1918 near Brickell.

That circle includes surrounding municipalities and bay waters. It is neither the City of Miami boundary nor all of Miami-Dade County. Miami Beach is a separate city across the bay. A count from this search area cannot be assigned wholesale to any one police department or the county sheriff.

Use the current city map to inspect a particular place, then find the responsible operator. Keep this report's frozen figures separate from a later refresh. A newly added pin can mean somebody documented an older device; a removed source record can reflect a correction rather than a newly completed removal.

The state-road memo needs a location-specific reading

FDOT's August 31, 2026 memo revokes local law-enforcement LPR approvals on State Highway System rights-of-way and directs removal of covered devices within 30 days. It is not a site-by-site completion record or proof that every private-property or local-road reader is covered.

For a mapped location, obtain the relevant road jurisdiction, permit and removal or deactivation record. A pole visible in an older image may remain after equipment changes; an online record may outlast a program. Our October retrieval does not verify whether any particular site complied with a removal direction.

A Miami-Dade Flock pilot is not a City of Miami inventory

Miami-Dade's adopted resolution R-997-22, dated October 18, 2022, authorized a yearlong Flock pilot for the then-named Miami-Dade Police Department. The supporting material describes 25 solar-powered units and separate access to Flock data through an interagency agreement. This is historical authorization; it does not establish that 25 units remain active today or identify every Flock label in our map.

A separate county procurement record on the June 16, 2026 agenda identifies funding for a Vigilant license plate recognition software module for the Sheriff's Office. That record reinforces the need to distinguish named products. It does not identify a particular roadside camera, establish a current operating program or turn Vigilant equipment into Flock equipment.

CBS Miami reproduced the sheriff's September 1, 2026 statement announcing suspension of the agency's entire LPR program.

We have not independently verified subsequent resumption or every site's present condition. This dated development belongs alongside the historical procurement records. It does not establish a shutdown by every other municipality or private operator in the area.

Neither county document answers which devices the City of Miami itself owns. We have not established a current, complete City of Miami Flock inventory from the primary records used here. The city's official public-records page provides a way to search previous requests and ask for the missing inventory, contracts and dated operating decisions.

An event detail and a parking reader have different purposes

Miami Beach's May 14, 2026 Memorial Day announcement described fixed and mobile LPR deployments, including a detail on the 5 Street and 41 Street corridors for May 23–24. It is a dated event plan from a separate municipality. It predates the August state-road memo and should not be repeated as a current checkpoint schedule or proof of present operating status.

The city's parking department separately describes entry-and-exit plate readers for four surface lots, including 900 Washington Avenue and 1262 Collins Avenue. Its page explains comparisons against parking payments and permits. The page gives a November 1 start reference without a year, so we do not infer a 2026 launch date or independently verify present lot operations.

These examples show why ALPR alone is not a vendor or purpose. A parking system, a temporary police detail and an investigative database are different systems. A reader's appearance or proximity to another camera does not establish that they share an operator, data policy or Flock connection.

The nearby source records include Flock and Motorola labels

A sample near 25.7622, -80.1931 is labeled Flock Safety; another near 25.7574, -80.1896 is labeled Motorola Solutions. These labels come from the map sources. They are not our confirmation of hardware, ownership, a contract relationship or operating status.

Directions are present for 371 of the 373 records, but none supplied a last-verification date. That missing field matters when a program may have changed. Inspect the original record and retain uncertainty rather than treating the retrieval date as a site visit. The identification guide can help compare equipment features without assigning a vendor merely because a camera is roadside.

Request dates and decisions, not just a purchase total

For City of Miami equipment, start with the city's records process; for Miami Beach, use its records and archival-document page. Direct county or sheriff questions to the corresponding records holder. Ask for existing inventories, road permits, installation records, deactivation and removal work orders, and any later authorization to resume or relocate equipment. Keep physical-device ownership separate from access to shared data.

Our snapshot selects ALPR-class records from the public production dataset, excludes entries marked removed, deduplicates record IDs and counts the circle. It did not report truncation. That is a retrieval result, not proof of completeness or one device per record. No field inspection was performed, and the map cannot show the present location of vehicle-mounted readers.

Please provide existing records identifying the operator and manufacturer of LPR equipment at [location], its road permit if applicable, and installation, deactivation, removal or relocation decisions from [date] onward. Please distinguish physical equipment from access to another agency's plate-read database.
