Indianapolis adds public security cameras to boost security in dangerous neighborhoods
Municipal security cameras already dot the dense urban areas of Indianapolis, IN; in downtown areas and near public spaces. These cameras, installed with federal grants from the Department of Homeland Security, have helped police make expedient arrests and identify drug dealers and possible terrorists.
Based on their existing security program's success, city officials have announced a plan to expand the city's surveillance program outward to several rough neighborhoods and other residential areas - hoping that the cameras will prevent crime and other problems - like drug dealing - that have compromised security in several areas around town.
Over the next few weeks, 19 cameras will be installed in neighborhoods in urban Indianapolis.
