Brooklyn Heights will install video surveillance cameras at two entrances to enhance security, funded by a $90,000 contribution from Councilmember Lincoln Restler. Requested by the NYPD's 84th Precinct to deter crime, these installations come amid increased concerns about street homelessness and safety by local residents. Restler highlights the Promenade's significance as a global destination and the necessity of monitoring for public safety. Alongside the new cameras, outreach efforts are underway to assist those experiencing homelessness in the area, reflecting a comprehensive approach to community safety.
The cameras were requested by the NYPD's 84th Precinct to deter robberies and other crime in the area, as the Promenade is a worldwide destination.
Restler emphasized that cameras would provide more eyes to ensure the safety of both locals and tourists visiting the Promenade.
With increasing street homelessness in Brooklyn Heights, Restler noted that public safety concerns had been raised by neighbors, prompting outreach efforts.
Crime has decreased significantly in the 84th Precinct, although there are still some exceptions that need to be addressed to ensure community safety.
