Hillsborough County
County-level ALPR and Flock. Contract dollars unknown here.
This page is the county layer. Hillsborough County Sheriff (HCSO) appears in USA TODAY Flock Search as org 2615: 380,931 searches; 579 known users; 34,407 unique plates; 68% redacted; top printed reason INVESTIGATION (49,176). Those figures come from the same compilation already printed on the Tampa page. An HCSO Flock/ALPR dollar contract is unknown on this site. The EFF Atlas of Surveillance lists HCSO Flock, citing Plant City Observer reporting. Atlas is open-source research, not a sheriff inventory.
Tampa city statement, 1 Sep 2026: Acting Chief Brett Owen said TPD will remove 17 ALPRs in State Highway System right-of-way within FDOT's 30-day deadline. City streets stay. That is not a City Council cancel. Plant City is still active; item 26-388 remains a Flock Camera Presentation on the clerk agenda (minutes unposted). A neighbor Change.org petition asks to ban flock cameras in Hillsborough County. Soft civic asks only on this page.
