With the rise in freeway crime, 400 cameras will officially be installed across the freeway in #Detroit.
The city council on Tuesday approved a $30 million grant from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to pay for the installation of cameras across freeways such as I-94, I-96, Lodge and more.
With some of those cameras, there will also be license plate readers.
“The objective of the grant is to reduce violent crimes and shootings on Detroit freeways by developing, constructing, managing, and operating a freeway video feed system to aid law enforcement efforts in deterring crimes. The funding allotted to the department will be utilized to create a network of video streaming cameras and license plate readers that can provide live and/or recorded video footage of freeways.”
