Law enforcement agencies nationwide regularly use security cameras to aid crime prevention efforts. Agencies that use cameras have observed a measurable decrease in criminal activity and calls for service regarding the quality of life issues in and near the installed cameras. Cameras have also been found to be an excellent resource for evidentiary purposes. Many agencies have been able to capture videos of crimes and later extract the recordings to apprehend and prosecute individuals. For these reasons, the Inglewood Police Department (IPD) has been actively involved in expanding the existing camera infrastructure. Currently, the Department has cameras installed at various critical infrastructures, parks, and major intersections within the City. The Respondent will install and configure nine (9) cameras to provide surveillance coverage along the following City corridors and a four (4) camera trailer, as identified on Exhibit A—Camera Location Maps.
