Who runs surveillance cameras in Clearwater County?

What we do not know

Orofino Police

  • How many cameras are in the park, and where do they point?
  • What did they cost, and out of which budget were they paid?
  • Is there a written policy for who may view the live feed and when?
  • How long is the video kept, and who else can ask for it?
  • Was the Council ever asked to vote on them?

What camera networks are

Fixed and steerable cameras run by a public agency, often networked so footage from many locations can be watched or searched from one place.
