The License-Plate Reader File · WisconsinIn reporting · updated Oct. 30, 2026
Who is reading your plate?
County by county.
Wisconsin has no state law governing plate readers, and Attorney General Josh Kaul called on the Legislature in September 2026 to pass one; of the 89 Wisconsin agencies on this map with documented programs, 33 have ended them and 9 have paused them.
A county’s color reflects any documented agency in it: the sheriff’s office or a city police department. “Not yet checked” is not the same as “none”.
- Using license-plate readers
- In use; some cameras may have been switched off or removed.
- Removing or limiting cameras
- Removing cameras beyond state roads, or limiting use, while some remain.
- Use suspended
- Cameras switched off or use paused; no contract termination reported.
- Program documented, current use unconfirmed
- Records or reports show the agency bought or used plate readers, but no source found confirms whether they are still in use.
- Ended or removed
- Contract terminated, program discontinued, or all cameras removed.

How this map is built
We start with each county’s sheriff’s office and its largest city police departments, then work outward. Each agency’s entry says whether it comes from agency records or from news reports, and links every source. Companies are tracked separately, so the map can show one company’s customers or all license-plate readers together.
