The city of Ozark, Missouri, is installing nine additional license plate reading cameras. These cameras, manufactured by Flock, will be used by the Ozark Police Department to scan license plates and identify potential criminal activity. The city currently has three of these cameras and has seen positive results, with over 3,000 vehicle hits since 2023, according to the Ozark Police Department. The new cameras will be strategically placed along major roadways like Highways 65, CC, and NN, as well as near OC and Finley River Park.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Current Cameras:
Ozark already has three Flock cameras in operation.
New Cameras:
The city plans to add six cameras along MoDOT routes and three more for OC and Finley River Park areas.
Flock Technology:
The cameras use automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology to scan and identify vehicles.
Benefits:
The cameras can help identify stolen vehicles, wanted individuals, and vehicles associated with crimes.
Cost:
The six MoDOT cameras will be part of a 60-month contract costing $94,200, while the three additional cameras will be purchased separately with a 60-month contract costing $46,950.
Location:
The cameras will be placed along major routes (Highway 65, CC, NN) and in high-traffic areas like OC and Finley River Park.
Local Context:
Other cities in the Ozarks, such as Springfield, have also adopted Flock cameras.
