Flock cameras in New York
FlockDetour’s map holds 5,065 license plate reader locations in New York, and 2,200 of them are attributed to Flock Safety by their source, as of October 4, 2026. These are documented locations from public sources, not an official inventory: unmapped and mobile readers are missing, and a few mapped sites may already be gone.

What agencies disclose
2 law-enforcement and public agencies in New York had a Flock Safety transparency portal when The News & Observer captured them, between July 2023 and April 2024. These figures come from those portals and cover only those agencies, so they are far below the mapped total above.

42 cameras is the sum of what 2 New York 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.
A blank field means the agency does not publish that number, not that it is zero.

Where these figures come from
The mapped counts come from every public plate-reader record in FlockDetour’s database on October 4, 2026, with removed sites left out, placed in New York by its state boundary. The records come from OpenStreetMap contributors and published datasets; the sources page lists each one with its license.
Flock Safety publishes a transparency portal for each customer agency. The agency figures were captured from those portals by The News & Observer / McClatchy (private_eyes) between July 2023 and April 2024 and are shown unchanged. Each agency’s page links its own portal, which is the authoritative copy.
