Flock cameras in California

84 agenciesTransparency portals

84 law-enforcement and public agencies in California publish a Flock Safety transparency portal — Flock’s own disclosure of what a customer has deployed. Everything below is read from those portals. Nothing is modeled, averaged across states, or filled in where an agency left a field blank.

3,345 cameras is the sum of what 84 California agencies publish, not an estimate for the state. The other 0 run Flock and publish no count, so the real total is higher by an unknown amount.

Retention across California runs from 30 days to 365 days. That range matters more than any single agency’s policy: plate data is routinely shared between departments, so the longest window in a region is closer to how long your driving stays searchable than the window your own town set.

A blank field means the agency does not publish that number, not that it is zero.

Where these figures come from

Flock Safety publishes a transparency portal for each customer agency. These figures were read from those portals by The News & Observer / McClatchy (private_eyes) and ingested here unchanged. Each agency’s page links its own portal, which is the authoritative copy.
