🛡️ How Flock Safety Technology Keeps Our Community Safe

The Elmore Police Department utilizes Flock Safety Technology to protect our neighborhoods. By linking into a regional northwest Ohio network, the system instantly alerts our officers to stolen cars, vehicles tied to active warrants or missing persons. Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) by Flock Safety are active in our area as an essential tool for public safety. These cameras are not used for traffic enforcement or speed traps. Instead, they act as an objective, 24/7 digital witness to help local law enforcement solve crimes and protect neighborhoods.

How it works to protect you:

Instant Alerts: The system instantly alerts officers when a vehicle associated with a stolen car, wanted suspect, or active warrant passes a camera.
Critical Missing Persons: It immediately flags vehicles tied to Amber Alerts (missing children) and Silver Alerts (missing seniors).
Objective Evidence: Cameras capture objective data—like license plates and vehicle characteristics—not the faces or demographics of drivers.


We believe that public safety requires public trust. You can review our live camera count, data policies, and full audit logs at any time on the official https://transparency.flocksafety.com/elmore-oh-pd


Data is automatically deleted after 30 days. Let’s keep working together to keep our village safe!

The Elmore Police Department has received several complaints this year regarding the use of electric scooters, officially referred to by the State of Ohio as Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Devices.

We would like to remind our community of the laws outlined in Ohio Revised Code 4511.512:

· "Electric scooters" may be operated on sidewalks, bike paths, and roadways where the posted speed limit is under 55 mph

· Operators must follow all standard traffic laws and rules of the road

· Individuals under 18 years of age must wear a helmet

· Individuals under 16 years of age must be under the direct visual and audible supervision of someone 18 or older

· No person under the age of 14 is permitted to operate an “Electric scooter”

· Operators must yield to all pedestrians

These laws are in place to ensure the safety of both riders and the public. We encourage parents and guardians to review these guidelines with their children.

Let’s all do our part to keep our neighborhoods safe and enjoyable for everyone. If a citizen observes reckless or unsafe operation of an E-Scooter call 419-862-3980 (non-emergency) or 911 to report the incident/s so that an Elmore police officer can respond.
