The busiest deployment in the county by a wide margin, covering the roads between every town on this site. It is also the least examined: no records request has been filed, and the portal omits the sharing lists.

Nearly half of every plate read documented in this county comes from the Sheriff's cameras, and less is known about them than about any town deployment. Not because anyone refused, but because nobody has asked yet. This is the largest single gap in the record.

What the portal says
The Sheriff's Office publishes a Flock transparency portal, though it was located by volunteers rather than linked from the county's own site. It reports 19 cameras, 779,097 plate reads in a thirty-day window, and 54,356 hotlist hits, a rate near 7%.
The portal does not include a sharing list. Plainfield's does, and the Sheriff's Office appears on it, so participation in the network is established. The scope of it is simply not published.
Every town page on this site rests on documents somebody requested. Nobody has requested the Sheriff's yet, so the contract value, the term, the renewal structure, the funding source, and whether a written use policy exists are all still unknown for the largest deployment in the county.
A county-level request is filed the same way as a town one. The template works unchanged. If you file, send what comes back.
Where to raise it
County-level decisions run through the Board of Commissioners and the County Council rather than a town council. Meeting schedules, agendas, and public comment procedures are posted at the county's website.
Confirm the current schedule and comment procedure before attending. This site does not list county meeting dates because they have not been verified.
Worth asking
What does the county pay for its plate readers, on what term, and from which budget line?
Is there a written use policy, and did the commissioners or council adopt it?
Would the Sheriff's Office consider publishing its sharing list, as Plainfield does?
Which of Flock's August 2026 settings has the office adopted, including the shorter retention default?
