The council instructed LAPD to report back on their plans to expand their surveillance program and about the creation of real-time crime centers.The Los Angeles City Council approved a motion seeking to expand a proposed surveillance program that would give the Los Angeles Police Department real-time access to private and business' security cameras.
Currently, more than 300 law enforcement agencies across the country, including New York City and Detroit, utilize what are known as real-time crime centers, which use security cameras to prevent and interrupt crime as it happens. In Beverly Hills, the police department launched its real-time watch center in 2022. Automated license plate readers helped authorities capture an individual suspected of murdering three unhoused individuals and a Los Angeles County government employee in December 2023.
Council members Traci Park and John Lee, who introduced the motion passed Friday, want to prepare the city to expand the pilot program.
