Improve Municipal Safety With Well Maintained Video Monitoring

Municipal surveillance systems have grown in use over the past decade, increasing police presence in new ways. The implementation of video monitoring in courthouses, city jails, parks and parking garages, and streets has a record of reducing the incidents of crime where installed.

Any security or safety program, whether it protects students in school, access to corporate offices, home or city streets, requires knowledgeable and considered planning. Our goal is not to sell boxes but to provide trusted and reliable applications that serve the public good.

Safer Citizens

The benefits of municipal surveillance are clear to law enforcement; with more active coverage, potential issues are identified earlier and support dispatched to de-escalate. Polls show that people, business owners, patrons, and police feel safer knowing cameras are in place.

While anecdotal experiences can support the effectiveness of camera systems, the Justice Policy Center at the Urban Institute — a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy research and educational organization based in Washington, D.C.- researched their use.

The study finds significant evidence that criminals are less likely to commit crimes if a live camera witnesses them. Furthermore, the drop in crime rates is substantial in the areas where installation of the units is most dense, generating a generous benefit to cost ratio. For example, in many urban areas, every dollar spent on installation resulted in a savings of $2-$4. The savings comes from calculating potential property loss, diminished productivity, medical bills and related court and administrative costs.

ASAP, A Trusted Partner

Numerous studies and research projects indicate that while surveillance systems have a measurable benefit, haphazardly mounting units is detrimental. Only a detailed and well-planned roll-out of the network equals success. In addition, only well-maintained cameras actively monitored by agents or in combination with live AI identification and alerts protect individuals from dangerous interactions.

Like any system, operational efficiency is directly related to the upkeep of the equipment. Faulty imaging, connection issues, and damaged housing contribute to a lesser quality and interrupt the necessary overlapping coverage.  At ASAP, our highly trained and certified technicians make our neighbor’s safety a priority.
