The city of Everett is thinking about installing new surveillance cameras all across the city in order to address violent crime.
Everett Police say West Casino Road and Walter E. Hall Park are just two of the areas under consideration for installation of this camera system under the latest proposal. "It’s good for the families. It’s better, safer," said one woman in attendance at Thursday's community meeting. The idea of installing camera systems along busy Casino Road is something she's generally supportive of. "It’s better on Casino Road for protection for the families," she said.
Everett Police say the cameras would not capture faces, or do facial recognition, track speed, or cite parking violations and would not be used for immigration enforcement or monitoring first-amendment expressive activity. The captain says they are close to raising funds for 74 Falcon cameras to be placed throughout the city. Six of those are planned for Casino Road and Walter E. Hall Park.
