Le Center PD added to Minnesota's state license plate reader roster
Added to state LPR rosterLe Center Police Department newly appears on the Minnesota BCA roster of agencies that use license plate readers (published under Minn. Stat. 13.824). Its entry lists no fixed or stationary device locations (N/A) and no other surveillance devices with LPR capability (N/A). The roster is vendor-neutral and covers every ALPR vendor; it does not identify Le Center PD's vendor, so this listing does not confirm the agency uses Flock. No Flock transparency portal has been verified for Le Center PD. Detected by a Distill monitor on the BCA page and confirmed against the live BCA page on 2026-10-23.
What does this mean?
The agency was added to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension's public list of law enforcement agencies that operate automated license plate readers. Minn. Stat. 13.824 requires agencies using ALPR to report that use to the BCA, including the locations of any stationary cameras, and the BCA must publish the roster. A new listing is often the earliest public sign that an agency has started using the technology, sometimes appearing before any transparency portal exists. The roster covers every ALPR vendor, not just Flock Safety, so a listing alone does not establish which system an agency uses. -
