Due to certain concerns raised about the Greenbelt security camera system, at a meeting on April 11 the city council asked its Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) to “undertake a comprehensive review of existing security cameras in the city; hold public hearings in all areas of the city; determine if additional security cameras are needed; and provide a city-wide security camera recommendation to council.” The written referral was forwarded to PSAC on April 20. At present there are a total of 61 security cameras in the city: 17 in the Community Center; five in and around Public Works; three at Roosevelt Center; 12 in and around the Aquatic & Fitness Center; 19 in and around the police station; two outside of Springhill Lake Recreation Center; one outside of Springhill Lake Elementary School; and two at the Spellman Overpass. The city’s Information Technology (IT) Branch, whose director is Dale Worley, manages all of the cameras except for the Community Center and Public Works. Those locations are maintaining legacy systems that have been in place for some time. For more on this story click HERE.
