San Leandro could add 41 surveillance cameras
SAN LEANDRO — San Leandro could soon have a network of 41 surveillance cameras throughout the city.
The cameras, equipped with license plate readers, will be able to record video, which the chief said would be used in criminal investigations, focusing on burglaries and violent crimes. Though crime in San Leandro overall is down, some areas, including robbery, are up, police say. Chief Pridgen said police do not have data on how often traffic cameras have helped solve crimes or how many investigations they have been used in. The police department hopes to start collecting crime data with the new proposed cameras, he said. Police also have not yet set any metrics or goals for the cameras.
Out of the 10 or so residents who called in to the council meeting, many were in favor of the added cameras.
