Deployment of Live Feed Surveillance Vehicles to Combat Drug Trafficking in High-Crime Areas

The Lakewood Township Police Department seeks funding to implement an advanced surveillance initiative aimed at reducing drug trafficking and related criminal activity in high-crime areas. The project involves the strategic deployment of vehicles equipped with live-feed cameras, which will be parked in targeted locations to monitor and deter illicit activities. These surveillance vehicles will provide real-time video feeds to law enforcement, enhancing their ability to respond swiftly and effectively to criminal behavior. By integrating live video monitoring into routine police operations, this initiative will significantly bolster the department’s efforts to address drug-related crime, improve public safety, and foster community trust. The requested funds will support the acquisition, installation, and maintenance of the necessary surveillance equipment.
