14 security cameras will be added to Downtown Lakeland buildings to provide video on the city’s sidewalks, streets, and alleyways.
The LDDA will purchase the 360-degree cameras manufactured by Verkada.
“The goal of those cameras is to decrease the undesirable behaviors that negatively impact our public and private spaces,” Julie Townsend, LDDA’s executive director said.
It will cost the LDDA about $112,500 for the installation of the 14 cameras, associated hardware, and software over the next 10 years.
Here’s a list of where the cameras will be installed:
- In front of Jimmy John’s, 125 N. Kentucky Ave.
