SAN JOSE -- Hien Nguyen has had her dental office in San Jose's Alum Rock for the past 13 years.'When we first moved here there were homeless in the back. People were wandering the streets high on drugs and everything. After COVID, it got worse,' Nguyen said.She says several businesses on her block have been vandalized or broken into. The business operator next door was even robbed at gunpoint.'They had guns. They came in in the middle of the day,' Nguyen said.
'These camera kits will be registered with the police department's cam program to improve police response in our village in case of an emergency,' said Peter Ortiz, a San Jose city councilmember.Nguyen says police will be working with each business individually to help them install the cameras properly in areas where they will get the best coverage.
