KCBIA supports addition of security cameras to combat crime and social disorder
KAMLOOPS — The head of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) says he supports a plan to add a system of security cameras as a way to try and respond to increasing crime and social disorder in the city.
Saying it’s not a new concept, Howie Reimer told CFJC Today there have been very preliminary discussions with the city and with Kamloops RCMP about what the program could look like.
“What we would like to see is not only quicker response during acts of vandalism, crime and social disruption, but the infrastructure behind it where there will be charges and there will be consequences,” Reimer said. “That seems to be some of the challenges we’re having now.”
“I don’t think it’s putting the cart before the horse — as long as you support it with the resources that make it a holistic solution.”
