On January 22, 2018, the City of Beverly Hills announced plans to continue expansion of its Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) project. The City currently operates and monitors over 600 CCTV cameras within Beverly Hills.
Current plans include an expansion of CCTV cameras into residential neighborhoods as a mechanism to thwart crime, apprehend suspects and increase public safety. Cameras will be strategically placed in key areas within the City with significant consideration for the privacy interests of residents.
Part of the expansion also includes a plan to provide awareness to residents and visitors. Residents and visitors will soon see signage within the City providing notice of the use and monitoring of CCTV cameras. These notices are an effective crime prevention tool.
“The City Council is in full support of this absolutely essential technology,” said Mayor Lili Bosse. “We must send a clear message that the City of Beverly Hills is watching and criminals will be caught and prosecuted.”
The City of Beverly Hills is proud to utilize this advanced technology to increase public safety and provide an optimal experience for residents and visitors.
