PUBLIC SAFETY CAMERAS
Resident safety is a top priority in District 1. Since 2019, we have installed 17 security cameras to deter crime and promote safety.

“Since I began serving, the most common concerns and complaints I have received are speeding and littering throughout our neighborhoods and communities. Speeding is a major public safety concern and something that I am constantly working to identify effective solutions.”
~ Councilor Clinton Woods.
An Automated Photographic Speeding Enforcement System is a camera system designed and installed to work in conjunction with electrically operated speed detection devices and synchronized to automatically record digital imaging of motor vehicles while speeding.
Cities that have installed automated speed enforcement cameras have seen reductions in the number of accidents and traffic fatalities. Chicago, IL reported a 31% decline in speeding vehicles, and Portland, OR, reported a 53% reduction in fatalities since program inception.
Understanding the need for community feedback and consent, D1 public surveys were conducted to determine the best potential locations for each camera.
