BID Meets With Police Captain Hearn

3/30/2018

Did you know that the city’s Commerce Department has a program to reimburse commercial property owners and business owners for the installation of security cameras? 

BID board members met in March with 14th Police District Captain Hearn, who enthusiastically promoted the program as a tool for discouraging crime on the commercial corridor.  The “Business Security Camera Program” will reimburse commercial property owners and business owners for 50% of the cost (up to $3,000) for installation of security cameras. While the visible presence of security cameras is a crime deterrant, said Captain Hearn, in the event of criminal activity they can provide valuable information to police.  Additionally,  property/business owners can opt to have their security feed tie in directly to the 14th police district, giving headquarters more “eyes on the ground.” 

The https://www.phillypolice.com/districts/14th/index.html also holds regular meeting at which the attending lieutenant has the authority and responsibility to address concerns.  Here’s the calendar of meetings for April, which are broken out into three regions (known as Public Service Areas) for Mt. Airy:
