Woodbury PD's BCA-disclosed license plate reader location list grew by three
Camera locations disclosedWoodbury PD's entry on the Minnesota BCA license plate reader roster now lists three more camera locations: - Bielenberg Drive at Stephens Way - Bielenberg Drive at Tamarack Road - Tamarack Road at Interstate 494 In the same edit, a garbled, duplicated entry ("Weir Drive at Tamarack Road southbound / Weir Drive at Valley Creek Road / Weir Drive at Tamarack Road") was cleaned up to a single "Weir Drive at Valley Creek Road" entry. Woodbury's own transparency portal, linked from its city ALPR page, identifies Flock as the vendor.

What does this mean?
The agency's entry on the Minnesota BCA's public roster of license plate reader users now names camera locations it did not list before. Minn. Stat. 13.824 requires agencies to report where their permanently mounted readers are, and the BCA publishes those locations. A newly listed location can mean a new camera went up, or an existing camera was reported for the first time; the roster does not say which. The roster covers every ALPR vendor, not just Flock Safety, so a listing does not by itself show which company's cameras are at a location.
