The Peterborough Police Service CCTV Camera Program is up and running in the downtown core of the City of Peterborough after an announcement made on late Monday morning.
There are 12 cameras with signage notifying the public that the area may be monitored by CCTV cameras.
“As a Service dedicated to public safety, we believe these cameras will be another tool in deterring and solving crime in our community. The video will be used to help solve crime after the fact,” said Chief Stuart Betts. “There is a procedure in place that limits who and when video can be accessed.”
The cameras were paid for through a grant from the Ontario government.
