Amador County, California. Device data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), with community reporting via DeFlock. Open the full map →

Amador County’s researched coverage begins with the Sheriff’s Office license plate reader program. The county map also shows community-reported devices from OpenStreetMap. Those reports remain separate from the Sheriff’s confirmed system and are not used to count county cameras.

  • Active Amador County Sheriff Updated

    Amador County approved 10 Flock Safety license plate readers for $85,500 over two years. The Sheriff said eight were installed by August 2026, when the Board rejected cancellation and directed another public review near renewal.

Who runs it

The agency is the accountability unit: who voted, whose policy applies, and who answers a records request.

1 agency on record. A jointly run system counts against each of its operators, so this column is not a county total. "Posted" means the policy is published where the law requires it. "On file" means we hold the document. "Not posted" and "not found" mean we could not find it on the agency's own website on the date shown; they say nothing about how the system is used. An agency with a dash has not been checked, which is not a finding.
