City of Maplewood Police Adds Public Surveillance Video

The City Maplewood of Police Department, which is located in St. Louis County, Missouri, has decided to place public cameras within Ryan Hummert Memorial Park. The cameras will keep an eye on passing vehicles and pedestrians and also give police video surveillance should crime occur there. Police officers are able to view the video feed from multiple monitors throughout the police department. Unlike past video surveillance in public, these cameras are high definition and can pick up very specific details. Eventually, the department hopes to have monitors installed in police vehicles so that officers can view the park while on patrol elsewhere. The department also hopes to add cameras in other locations throughout the city.
