Who Will Benefit
This program is designed for executives, managers, staff, and others interested in learning about closed-circuit television (CCTV) and implementing its use in government.

Program
The use of CCTV to monitor public spaces is becoming increasingly common in local government. Simply stated, CCTV uses video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific, limited set of monitors. CCTV equips local government with a tool for monitoring community safety accurately, consistently, and reliably. Governments, local law enforcement, and emergency management can utilize this technology to increase their ability to disrupt illegal activity and develop a framework for increasing police efficiency and emergency response. Sign up for this session to hear from governments that have implemented the use of CCTV and learn how to get the most from this important resource.
