The City of Clinton is looking to beef up security at Kiwanis Park, and on Tuesday night at the Clinton City Council meeting, it heard a presentation on those cameras.
On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Clinton City Administrator Tony Harris told the Hart Media Group, not only would they purchase cameras for Kiwanis Park security, but they would partner with the Clinton Police Department for surveillance cameras in the City.
Harris calls security at Kiwanis Park his number one priority, but feels it works out well to work with the Police Department to purchase cameras for their needs.
According to Harris, the cameras that would be installed at the park would be able to recognize a person at the park after hours and send an alert to law enforcement. He feels this would cut down on some of the issues at that park over the years.
The cameras would be roughly $3,000. Harris points out that the cameras for Kiwanis Park are budgeted and could get installed upon purchase approval. The Police Department's cameras would not be installed as quickly; however, there is an agreement in place to purchase those.
