City of Tampa · Hillsborough County
A contract line is not a camera count.
Tampa has a published Flock Safety Group contract. Hillsborough Sheriff appears on an outside atlas. School-zone speed cameras are a different vendor unless a primary says a pole is Flock. Upcoming Tampa and BOCC dates are not Flock hearings on the agendas we have checked.

Figures below are as published. Nothing here is a complete city or county inventory.
Tampa Police · contract 25-X-01691
Through 20 Dec 2026
City of Tampa current-contracts list (December 2025 accessible PDF): 25-X-01691, Police, Automated License Plate Reader, vendor Flock Safety Group, $43,450.00, end date 12/20/2026, marked continuous. That line is a published contract entry — not a camera count.
A later PDF has been seen printed with 12/20/2027. Why the two dates differ is unknown on this page.
The Tampa Bay Times has reported that TPD said it has 25 Flock cameras. That is a newspaper account of a department statement, not a count this site independently verified.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Atlas of Surveillance lists HCSO as using Flock Safety ALPRs, citing Plant City Observer reporting. Atlas is open-source research, not a sheriff’s inventory. A dollar contract for HCSO Flock is unknown on this page.
Atlas entry FL0290000ALPR.
A public Overpass pull of OpenStreetMap (database timestamp 23 Aug 2026, 04:31 UTC / 12:31 AM ET) on a Tampa bounding box — not the legal city limit — counted 206 nodes tagged manufacturer Flock Safety with ALPR/surveillance tags, after dropping one restaurant named “Flock and Stock.” That is volunteer mapping. Cameras can be missing, duplicated, or mistagged. It is not a government count and should not be read as one.

Hillsborough and Tampa school-zone speed detection has been procured as RedSpeed (and earlier programs), not as a Flock ALPR contract. Some RedSpeed proposal language has advertised Flock integration. A Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw memo, as covered by the Tampa Monitor, said TPD will not use RedSpeed as ALPR pushing to Flock. Until a primary public record says a given school-zone pole is a Flock camera, this site will not call it one. RedSpeed remains a RedSpeed program on its face.
See contemporaneous Tampa Monitor and Creative Loafing coverage of the RedSpeed piggyback and Flock-integration marketing; Bercaw memo as reported there.
Council member Lynn Hurtak has been quoted (Tampa Monitor / Footnote4a) as saying sharing happens only on an open case. Treat that as a council claim on the record, not as a written policy this site has independently verified.

What to ask — if you speak
If you use a general public-comment window, stay on the record. These are the same four questions as Plant City, aimed at TPD and HCSO:
- Retention. How many days are plate images and vehicle signatures kept? Who can extend a hold?
- Sharing and hotlists. Which agencies can search TPD or HCSO data? Which hotlists are enabled?
- Audit. Who reviews search logs, and will summaries be posted?
- Dollars. What FY27 line continues 25-X-01691 or expands poles?
Florida public records are Chapter 119, not federal FOIA. This page does not advise anyone to touch, block, disable, or approach a camera.
