Now, lets see how incompetent the people they hire to watch these monitors are.


quote:


Officials will begin to keep watch on the city from a futuristic-looking command center on the edge of the French Quarter.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu opened the city’s new Real-Time Crime Monitoring Center Tuesday, marking a $5 million investment he and city leaders said will help to keep citizens and visitors safe. Funding for the command center came from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

The command center, its walls covered with flat screen TV’s that show live surveillance cameras and pictures from license-plate readers around the city, is located next to the NOPD’s 1st Distrcit station at North Rampart and St. Louis streets.

“We will see you, we will know who you are, we will be able to apprehend you,” said NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison, who said he hoped the video provided by the center will assist in prosecuting criminals.

Aren't those cameras an invasion of privacy? What areas of the city are the cameras placed?

Seems effective when you don't have any cops to catch the criminals.


Hey, look! I just put a supercharger on my new Corvette. Unfortunately I can't afford to put gas in it. Oh well, still looks cool!

Part of the plan called for installing 80 crime cameras at so-called “hot spots” across the city.

Another 250 are set to go up in 2018. Landrieu also urged private businesses and citizens to register their cameras to connect to the center through safecamenola.com

Landrieu said his administration is working with the City Council to write legislation that would require bars to install surveillance cameras that will feed into the center.

Yeah, nothing like mandating private businesses spend their money so they can do your job for you. What a goddamn joke.

I am going to just assume that we can't see the radios that allow the camera watchers to talk directly to the police. Because if those phones are how they are supposed to call in a crime in progress then that is a wasted $5 mil. Assuming they hire people who can speak English, work a radio, have a reasonable level of intelligence and can provide real time date VIA RADIO to officers in the area - then this is a good thing.

FWIW, London has more monitored cameras than any where else in the world and they have proven effective against street crime.

As part of the Citywide Public Safety Plan, we will also have 300 new police take-home cars hitting the streets over the next few months to help increase @NOPDNews visibility in neighborhoods and deter crime.



They'll just get stolen or they will be left on cinder blocks

Perfect idea. Because the start of all crime in New Orleans is from Bars.

I'm sure they have a competent, professional police force too.
