Wyoming's Limited Flock Footprint: Cheyenne Deploys 23 Cameras While Green River Council Says No

First reported: August 11, 2026 · 2 sources

A Wyoming radio outlet surveyed where Flock Safety automated license plate readers exist in the state, reporting that deployments are sparse. The Cheyenne Police Department operates 23 Flock cameras, a rollout that has drawn public meetings, resident petitions and local privacy debate, while the Laramie County Sheriff's Office said it does not use the technology and has no plans to adopt it. The Green River City Council voted 6-1 against installing ALPR cameras the previous month, according to the newspaper Sweetwater Now. The article points readers to DeFlock, a crowdsourced camera map run by a group that opposes the devices.

Why this matters

Wyoming shows neighboring jurisdictions reaching opposite conclusions on the same technology, with one city council rejecting ALPRs outright and a county sheriff declining to adopt them even as the state's largest police department expands its network.
