At least 20 surveillance camera sites are documented in Sherman, Texas, according to public records and mapping data. The majority of these devices are linked to the Sherman Police Department in procurement or transparency filings.
The locations were compiled through volunteer contributions to DeFlock and OpenStreetMap. Mappers identified the sites on-site, though signage was absent at many positions, leaving the specific operator unconfirmed for most units. A separate signal comes from contract records, which name the agency listed for the same vendor and technology in town.
Public documents list the Sherman Police Department as the named agency for 19 of the 20 mapped locations. These sites utilize Flock Safety license plate readers. The remaining location uses a Leonardo device and does not have a named agency on the contract data provided.
The mapping project notes that the agency listed on a contract does not necessarily operate every camera in the area. State police, county sheriffs, homeowners associations, and private businesses can also deploy similar technology on public roads. For a definitive count of cameras directly operated by local law enforcement, records requests would be required.
