Alto is not affiliated with Flock Safety. Location pins come from © OpenStreetMap contributors. Community tagging of ALPR devices is documented by projects such as DeFlock. Pins are reported locations, not proof a camera is on or that a city has a current contract. There is no official public map. Alto does not search license plates. Vendor claims belong to flocksafety.com. Wrong figures: corrections.

No Montana agreement has been transcribed from a posted document yet. Most Flock deals are municipal records you can request from a city clerk.

none on file
No Montana agency portal has been verified. Alto does not guess portal URLs, so an empty row here is the accurate state of the allowlist.

What Montana law says
Montana generally prohibits public agencies from using a license plate reader on a public highway. Law enforcement may use one only under a published written policy and only to identify plates tied to listed official purposes (stolen vehicles, wanted persons, case-specific investigations, and similar).

Cities in Montana
A city gets its own page once Alto holds at least two independent signals for it — reported pins, an Atlas row, a verified portal, a contract, or sustained local coverage.
No Montana city clears that bar yet. You can still browse the map for reported locations, or send a public record that would qualify one.

Nearby states
This page reports OpenStreetMap ALPR nodes in Montana that are tagged as Flock Safety, next to any Atlas of Surveillance rows, public contracts, and news Alto has indexed. Absence of a pin is not proof the state has no cameras.
Every count is labeled with its source and import or document date. Alto does not treat community pins as an active contract.
Does Montana use Flock?
Alto answers with the numbers on this page — reported OSM Flock tags, EFF Atlas rows if imported, and documents in the contract table — not with a yes/no slogan. Press-reported national totals are not applied to Montana unless a source is about this state.
How to read the table
The Flock column is OSM nodes whose manufacturer or brand is Flock Safety. The all-ALPR column includes other vendors tagged on OpenStreetMap. They are not the same number.
Flock Cameras in Montana — Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Montana use Flock cameras?
- Alto does not answer that with a slogan. This page shows reported OpenStreetMap Flock-tagged locations in Montana, plus any Atlas rows, contracts, and news we have sourced. A zero in the OSM column means no tagged nodes in the last import — not that no cameras exist.
- Where are Flock cameras in Montana?
- Reported coordinates, when imported, appear on the Flock map filtered to Montana. They come from OpenStreetMap contributors and can be incomplete or out of date.
- Does a pin mean the camera is on and the city has a contract?
- No. A pin is a community-reported location. The camera may have been moved or removed. A contract is a separate public record. Alto does not treat a pin as proof that a device is recording or that a jurisdiction currently pays Flock.
