SUMMARY:
On October 8, 2018, the CRA entered an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Pensacola to implement Community Policing Innovations within the Urban Core redevelopment area during fiscal year 2019. Policing activities authorized under the agreement are undertaken by the Pensacola Police Department (PPD).
As an additional component of its area-wide community policing efforts within the Urban Core, PPD proposes to purchase and install a security camera at Jefferson and Government Streets from the Community Policing Innovations funds. Recently, the department has installed security cameras at “F” and Cervantes, Belmont and DeVilliers, Palafox Place, and at City Hall.
Costs and specifications for the requested camera are attached. Internet service required to operate the camera will be provided by Southtowne Apartments. It is recommended that the CRA authorize the purchase and installation of the camera to enhance public safety and security within the downtown area.
