Security cameras going up to fight crime surge
Councilmember Justin Brannan will allocate $275,000 for 10 new Argus NYPD security cameras across the 43rd District, which covers Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bath Beach and Bensonhurst.
A total of 10 cameras will be installed at five locations, with two cameras at each site. They will be clearly marked and conspicuously placed, with signage notifying the public that the area is under surveillance.
“Even though our neighborhoods continue to be some of the safest in the city, no constituent should have to wake up in the morning to their car having been rummaged through, or be kept up all night with incessant racing down the street,” Brannan said. “These cameras will be another tool in our enforcement and prevention toolbox, so that we can identify the small number of people engaging in these acts, and put a stop to their behavior.”
