The City of Wanneroo and the Western Australia State Government have joined together to bolster the City’s commitment to community safety, deploying three new mobile CCTV poles to enhance security.
The cameras will be used to help combat antisocial behaviour and deter and solve crime in collaboration with local police.
Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said as well as creating a safer environment for residents and visitors, CCTV helped protect and preserve City facilities for the benefit of the whole community.
“The safety of our community and the ability for our residents and visitors to enjoy our City’s many sites is of the utmost importance,” Mayor Roberts said.
“A 2020 City trial of portable CCTV technology demonstrated that it is not only a useful deterrent for antisocial behaviour, but that people feel safer knowing incidents can be recorded and pursued.
“We welcome the State Government’s generous contribution of $100,000 to upgrade our CCTV capability and enhance safety across the City.”
The funding was provided through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries to support the City and local police in combating antisocial behaviour.
