Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond said the department's Real Time Crime Center is helping to solve crimes, and more technology is on the way. The Birmingham City Council on Tuesday approved an agreement with the Birmingham Board of Education to share video assets on school properties, including cameras located in the public areas of schools such as lobbies, building exteriors and athletic facilities.
“They will be able to advise responding units exactly where they need to go, whether that’s a medical emergency or something else.”The council also voted to add three additional mobile camera units that can be deployed to hotspots throughout the city, especially to monitor exhibition driving.
