Surveillance Camera Projects in Other U.S. Cities

Many members and citizens have mentioned the necessity of surveillance cameras throughout Savannah, in order to decrease crime and increase police monitoring of our neighborhoods. Two great sources of information on the implementation and success of this project in two other cities were brought to our attention.

  • One city, which has been very successful with this system, is Wilmington, Delaware. You can read about their initiative, called Downtown Visions, at www.downtownvisions.org.
  • Another city with a similar project in effect is Chicago. To read about their progress and how they got started, please read an article entitled “Spycam Forceâ€?, published in Wired Magazine. You can access the text by clicking here. It’s a bit lengthy, but contains some incredible statistics and information.
