About
DodgeFlock is a nonpartisan privacy campaign for a total ban of networked ALPR/Flock systems in Dodge County, Wisconsin. Not affiliated with county government, any political party, or Flock Safety. Privacy isn’t partisan.
Methodology
- Downloaded public DeFlock/OSM-derived FeatureCollection from data.dontgetflocked.com (no API key).
- Filtered to approximate Dodge County bounding box, reverse-geocoded with OSM Nominatim, retained Dodge County points.
- Cross-checked against MyTownView, Atlas of Surveillance (Dodge Co SO: 18 Flock as of Sep 2025), and Deflock Dane WisDOT ROW permit table.
- WisDOT ROW permits are not Flock service contracts; community maps are volunteer-driven and may be incomplete.
- Supervisor contacts from county Members page, candidate filing roster (updated 1/8/2026), and related public notices. Email pattern districtN@co.dodge.wi.us. Home addresses are not published on this site.
- Address → district lookup uses Wisconsin LTSB County Supervisory Districts (January 2026) filtered to Dodge County (LTSB GIS Hub / GeoData@Wisconsin), geocoded via ArcGIS World Geocoding Service with a Dodge County bias.
- Exact county contract price/term/policy not located in public web sources during the research pass.
FOIA / research gaps
- No public Dodge County Flock/ALPR contract PDF found on county website.
- No clear County Board agenda item approving Flock procurement located.
- No published DCSO ALPR written policy (retention, sharing, audit) located.
- Sheriff for records: Dale J. Schmidt — see county elected officials page.
Suggest Wisconsin Open Records requests to County Clerk / Sheriff / Purchasing for: contracts, amendments, invoices, data-sharing agreements, audit logs, and Board/committee packets.
