780 documented licence plate readers across
63 Iowa cities and towns.
733 of them are tagged as Flock Safety equipment; the rest are
other ALPR brands. 98% have a
recorded compass bearing.

86 readers sit outside any town boundary - on county
roads, interstate ramps and rural junctions - which is why the state total is
larger than the sum of the towns below.
