Camera counts: Monroe from the City's Flock transparency portal as reported by WSOC-TV, Sept 8, 2026; Indian Trail as reported to Council in Oct 2022; the others from town records. Contract holder is the government named or paying in town records; Weddington's is from its signed order form, Waxhaw's from its budget, and Indian Trail's is not stated. Camera operator is the agency that polices the town: Weddington, Wesley Chapel and Indian Trail are served by Sheriff's Office deputies under contract. The Union County row is the Sheriff's Office county-wide system; its cameras may also sit inside town limits, so the counts should not be added together. Its count is from the December 2025 contract (Board item 25-744): 38 license plate cameras, one portable and one long-range plate camera, and 14 video cameras. The county-wide system is covered on the Union County page.
Weddington, Stallings and Wesley Chapel each held a council vote to start their camera programs.
Waxhaw has funded its cameras through annual budget lines since FY2021-22. Its Board noted in September 2026 that there has been no formal vote on deployment.
Monroe's original purchase is older than the records reviewed, and its current three-year agreement was reported to Council after it was awarded.
Indian Trail's cameras appear in Town records only in a 2022 report to Council.
None of the six towns has published its camera locations, its sharing settings or its search audit reports. Monroe's Council voted in September 2026 to review any change to its Flock system, and Waxhaw's Board plans to discuss a written policy.
Each council or board adopts the budget that pays for its cameras. Find your town above to see who to contact and when they meet.
