While the council monitors its own buildings, locals argue public spaces, especially those flagged by police, need surveillance to deter crime and protect kids. One mother, whose child was victimized, is rallying the community to gather data to prove the need. Police back the push, saying cameras would help solve crimes and boost safety — but the council insists it’s not in their current budget or strategy, unless backed by solid evidence and funding.
