Agency records · KY

Bowling Green Police Department

License plate reader records for Bowling Green. Each fact keeps its source and checked date.

Written rules describe policy, not proof that every search follows it. Agency-reported camera totals have a different scope from community-mapped county points.

What the public record establishes

The Kentucky attorney general upheld withholding a camera-location record in this specific March 2, 2026 decision. It does not establish that every ALPR record or contract is exempt.
