The provincial government is announcing another tool in the fight against organized crime.
Six million dollars has been promised over three years for new CCTV cameras.
Solicitor General Sylvia Jones says the funding is available to any police department that applies for the money.
“Our front line police tell us CCTV technology works and is one the best tools we have to gain a critical advantage over criminal organizations,” says Jones.
“Gang members are less likely to commit a crime if they are they are at a greater risk of being caught and video footage of crimes committed will help with investigations, identify suspects and support prosecutions to keep criminals off our streets.”
Jones says this follows up on last week’s three million dollars Proceeds of Crime announcement.
