North Dumfries council votes yes for police CCTV camera
Also relevant to: North Dumfries
One of the new police CCTV cameras is coming to North Dumfries township.
Council voted yes at their Monday evening meeting to install the camera and licence plate scanner at the location the Waterloo Regional Police Service asked for: Northumberland Street at Alps Road.
That’s north of Ayr, and west of the Cedar Creek ramps to and from the 401.
Deputy chief, Jennifer Davis, says WRPS is already in talks with the Ministry of Transportation to expand the camera program to the on- and off-ramps there.
Davis explained to council how there’s been a five-year increasing trend in crime on North Dumfries, including organized crime. But also assaults, mischief and more.
Township staff will now prepare a report on the implementation of the new technology.
