Seems that MPD’s Crime Eye’s are expanding. Jim Graham, Councilmember for Ward 1, MPD Commander McCoy and MPD Chief Ramsey are excited to announce 4 new Ward One crime cameras.

14th & Oak; 14th & W; 14th & Columbia; and 17th & Euclid increase to seven the 24/7 surveillance cameras in Ward One. Does that make you feel safe?

How about this quote from Councilmember Graham’s email:

We will now have a good experience with how effective these devices are in fighting crime. One thing I want to repeat: While these cameras have some utility to scattering embedded crime, MPD must be prepared to give chase.

Yeah, I’m felling so much more watched safe now.
