A West Philly group has launched an effort to give residents free surveillance cameras

The program is one of the first in the city that provides residents with free cameras, a tool investigators increasingly rely on to solve violent crime.

This surveillance camera was installed last year at Wilson Park on the 2500 block of Jackson Street. The cameras were installed on public housing infrastructure. A new program in West Philadelphia aims to equip a broader group of residents with cameras that will be registered with the Police Department.
