He says while his constituents are concerned about crime, he isn't sure how the program is making them safer. 'I will never be a proponent to say more surveillance makes us safer, but I think that we should take those resources and get them to our police in a way that helps them prevent these crimes working with the community,' said Kloiber. He's interested in seeing how the map of arrests will look once the remaining cameras are installed.Ĭouncilmember Kloiber feels like it is surveillance and that it's not preventing crime, just reacting to it. The system is not a surveillance and that's a common word that's been thrown out there is surveillance. 'Overwhelming support from all of our neighborhoods for this system.
