Verified ALPR — vendor unconfirmed
Riviera Beach is watched — we just can't confirm by whom.
Our records document automated license plate reader use in Riviera Beach, Florida recorded for Riviera Beach Police Department, but they do not establish Flock Safety as the vendor. Separately, 22 individual ALPR camera locations mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors fall inside the municipal boundary, 21 of them source-tagged Flock Safety.

These entries document that an agency has been reported to use ALPR technology. They do not establish camera counts, exact locations, cost, retention periods or sharing policies unless the linked source says so.

22 mapped camera points inside the Riviera Beach boundary, from OpenStreetMap contributors via the DeFlock ↗ dataset (ODbL). Each point links to its own OpenStreetMap record in the camera list on this page.
Camera points are matched to this municipality by point-in-polygon containment against US Census Bureau cartographic boundaries (2023) — the coordinate falls inside the municipal boundary. Containment is a statement about location only, never about ownership, operation, purchase or deployment.

Reuters reports that Florida has barred local police from mounting license plate readers on state highways, after the state transportation department revoked right-of-way permits for the cameras. Reuters frames the move as part of a widening national split over police use of Flock Safety and similar vehicle-tracking technology.
