Grenville County OPP are expanding their video surveillance systems thanks to a boost in funding from the provincial government.
Close to $38,000 will go to expanding the system in North Grenville with officials saying it will better protect the community against crime and the threat of gun and gang violence.
The money is coming from the province’s closed circuit television (CCTV) grant program.
“I’m pleased that our government is providing this funding to support Grenville OPP in their work to keep our local communities safe by detecting and deterring crime,” said Steve Clark, MPP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. “CCTV technology is an important tool for our frontline police officers, and I’m proud our government is making these resources available to our smaller communities.”
The program is part of Ontario’s Guns, Gangs and Violence Reduction Strategy.
