New Orleans to install more video surveillance to deter and solve crimes
Approximately 70 additional video surveillance cameras will be installed throughout New Orleans to aid police in investigations, catching violent offenders and illegal dumpers, according to the New Orleans City Council.
The cameras will add to New Orleans already robust network of $40 million 24/7 cameras deployed in 2017. The cameras have helped police solve carjackings, homicides and other violent crimes, as well as aid the Sanitation Department in catching illegal dumpers.
