Charlack was the second city to begin using speed cameras, March 20, 2010. The cameras are provided by B&W Sensors, a company located in St. Louis. The speed cameras are on a mobile trailer which is located on top of I-170 on the Lackland Road Overpass. Charlack's then-police chief, Tony Umbertino, claims that traffic fines account for about 29% of Charlack's operating budget. According to the then- Police Chief Umbertino, "The cameras have also been used on Lackland Road and Midland Road earlier in the year." Umbertino also served as the town manager.
