Public Records: The Contract Behind These Cameras
Columbus City Council approved a Flock Safety contract in December 2024, funded through an LPR project grant. In July 2026, a police audit found the system had been searched more than 15,000 times for possible immigration-related reasons — prompting the mayor to order a halt to statewide data sharing and schedule a public hearing.

About this data: Camera locations near Columbus are pulled from OpenStreetMap's public surveillance-camera tags and community reports submitted directly through FlockLocator. Coverage depends entirely on what's been reported — if Columbus looks empty, it likely just hasn't been mapped yet, not that no cameras exist. Read documented cases of ALPR misuse on our News page.
