PUBLIC SAFETY

This project will provide for the strategic placement of cameras throughout the city to help reduce and solve crimes. They can also be used to capture events leading to vehicle accidents or other incidents.

Studies show that police organizations that utilize city-wide camera systems, in conjunction with stationary License Plate Reader (LPR) devices, have seen reductions in crime up to 40 percent. The City of Fayetteville Police Department currently maintains a city-wide LPR system, which has proven quite effective. This system would also allow all departments in the City to monitor large events such as parades, festivals, major traffic issues, etc. in real time so City resources can be effectively assigned to reduce impacts on the community.
