Ontario is investing $235,000 to help local police services expand their video surveillance systems.
Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae says the funding is coming from the Ontario Closed Circuit Television Grant Program.
It will be used to replace outdated equipment, expand or enhance current technology, and install new or additional CCTV surveillance cameras in areas where gun and gang violence are most prevalent.
The following forces will share in the funding:
Organization | CCTV Funding Amount |
OPP North Perth | $15,000 |
OPP West Perth | $20,000 |
Stratford Police Service | $200,000 |
Total | $235,000 |
