The Police-Private Security Camera Program reimburses residents up to $250 for a security camera installation, and eligible businesses and nonprofits up to $1,250. The program launched on November 15, 2023.
Per the news release: Locations within these areas are now eligible to participate in the program.
The Police-Private Security Camera Program is designed to deter and solve crimes by incentivizing the installation of security cameras in geographic areas experiencing relatively high crime incidents. An owner or tenant of a property used as a residence, business, or nonprofit organization located within an eligible priority area may apply.
To participate, individuals, businesses, or nonprofit organizations must register online. Residents must purchase and install their security cameras before applying for reimbursement.
