The Midtown Community Benefits District is looking at ways to increase public safety throughout the district. Among the possibilities being considered by the Midtown Operations Committee is the use of camera technology (non-blue-light), improved street-lighting, strategic fencing and gating, emergency call boxes,and helping neighborhoods develop and expand Citizens on Patrol (COP) programs. We are working with the Baltimore City Police Department in an effort to increase police patrols through the district.
Midtown is researching camera technology and seeking proposals from security consultant to look at the installation of actively monitored security cameras in each of the four Midtown neighborhoods.Initially the proposal for a pilot project may include two sites forcamera locations in each neighborhood. These pilot projects will provide the Midtown Board with the information it needsto determine if security cameras installed throughout the neighborhood are desirable, feasible, and affordable.
