Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $1,000,000)
The City of Syracuse has relied on neighborhood street cameras, known as COPS cameras, as essential tools for public safety for well over a decade and have been the top requested technology by the citizens of Syracuse. The equipment aids in response to emergencies and plays a key role in criminal investigations and successful arrests in virtually every serious crime within the city. Additionally, the presence of the cameras acts as a very strong deterrent of criminal activity, which is the principal goal of the project. This funding would allow for the expansion of the existing COPS Camera infrastructure across key areas in the city as well as providing critical repairs and replacements to the existing network.
