Explore the Community Watcher map — by Pyramid Designs LLC
Pan, zoom, and tap any marker. Fire perimeter, peaks, water, fire stations, community points, and credited public Ambient Weather stations — the same live context as our overview map, on a map you can move around. Use the layer box (top-right) to toggle what you see.
⚠️ This is not an evacuation map. It is situational awareness only. For evacuation zones and orders, use the
Pueblo County Sheriff's official map,
the Custer County Sheriff, and sign up for CodeRED.
🧭 Know Your Zone
Type an address or paste coordinates — or double-click your spot on the map. We check it against the public evacuation/advisory/re-entry polygons loaded on this map. Always confirm with Sheriff/CodeRED before making safety decisions.
Public infrastructure awareness
🎥 Roadside ALPR cameras
An automated license plate reader (ALPR) photographs license plates and associates a vehicle sighting with a place and time so authorized users can search it later. How ALPRs work — EFF → This map shows infrastructure only—never plates, faces, or people.
These four Flock Safety records come from OpenStreetMap contributors and the community mapping work behind DeFlock. This is a crowdsourced floor, not a census: unmapped cameras may exist.
Retention: local answer needed
Flock says retention is set in advance and is often 30 days, depending on local law; the local agency controls the period. Flock's retention statement → Custer County's actual retention period is not publicly confirmed here.
Five open accountability questions
- When were the cameras adopted, at what public meeting, and by what vote?
- What is the local retention period?
- Is there a published usage policy, who may query the system, and are searches audited?
- Which local, state, or federal agencies can receive or query the data?
- What did the system cost, and which fund pays for it?
