Paducah Police Department

License plate reader records for Paducah. 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.

Program status reported by the source

The city's July 8, 2025 meeting highlights reported 21 LPR systems in use and approval of a Flock renewal and expansion, with 11 additional systems planned. This is the authorization account from that meeting. Approval of a planned addition does not by itself verify its installation or the present operating total.

What the public record establishes

The 2025 annual report says 11 new Flock camera locations were installed during 2025 and reports 32 Flock cameras deployed throughout Paducah since 2023. These are the department's historical statements, not an independently checked inventory, exact installation timeline or finding about current activity at every location.
