BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Centre has experienced immense growth in residential, commercial and retail properties along with a substantial increase of traffic traversing through the Contra Costa Centre. The area is provided law enforcement services by the Office of the Sheriff to include one full-time Resident Deputy. The Contra Costa Centre Association is aware of the effectiveness of ALPR cameras and surveillance cameras in both deterring and solving crimes. Contra Costa Centre Association is prepared to purchase, license, install and maintain a Vigilant ALPR camera system in the 125-acre unincorporated area of Contra Costa Centre. The ALPR system will communicate directly with the existing Vigilant ALPR system already employed by the Office of the Sheriff and adhere to the Office of the Sheriff policies regulating their use. The installation and dedicated access to the Office of the Sheriff will best utilize current staffing and increase the solvability of cases in the area.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
ALPR system will not be employed and there will be no additional measures in place to deter and solve crime.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
