League City Boosts Security with Additional Cameras to Deter Vehicle Break-ins
League City officials have taken action to address the recent surge in vehicle break-ins at parks and public places. In a bid to enhance safety and deter crime, an updated agreement with private security camera company, Flock Safety, has been approved. This agreement will see the installation of 28 additional cameras, adding to the existing 42 cameras that were completed in August. The cameras, costing $70,000 over the next five years, will be strategically placed at city parks and various roadways where break-ins have been reported. These automated license plate reader cameras are designed to capture and photograph license plates of vehicles leaving areas where crimes have occurred or are suspected. The objective is to provide better coverage and deter criminal activity, ensuring that residents and visitors can enjoy the city’s facilities without the fear of their vehicles being targeted. The installation of these cameras is scheduled to begin in early 2024. League City is committed to maintaining the privacy of its residents and assures that non-criminal activity captured on the cameras will be erased after 30 days. This initiative aims to create a safer environment for all and is a testament to the city’s dedication to the well-being of its community.
