The $1 million Leiby Kletzky Security Initiative, in which the largely Orthodox Jewish areas of Midwood and Borough Park will receive 150 street security cameras, could be up and running within two months, Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who represents these areas, said yesterday.
The initiative was named after 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky, who was abducted, suffocated, drugged and dismembered after he disappeared on his way home from a religious day camp in July 2011. Kletzky’s father was at the ceremony announcing the program on Sunday, although he did not speak.
