Security Cameras <br />On February 26, 2018 the San Leandro Police Department presented a data -driven <br />discussion regarding potential camera locations within the community at a City Council <br />Work Session. Given the City's access to municipal high-speed fiber optics and wireless <br />communication systems, security cameras can be deployed cost-effectively to achieve <br />the force -multiplier effect. The map below was developed by the Police Department and <br />shows 27 potential camera locations that line up with the City's fiber optics network. The <br />additional sites can be reached wirelessly and connect to the same master system. <br />Figure 22, Proposed CannerabAlOr Map <br />Evidenced -Based <br />Policing <br />Evidence -based policing is <br />an approach to law <br />enforcement that <br />emphasizes research, <br />evaluation, analysis, and <br />scientific processes in <br />decision making32. It <br />applies to public safety a <br />philosophy found in public <br />health that strives to <br />provide prescriptions that <br />are rigorously tested and <br />proven to be beneficial, <br />while minimizing and <br />rejecting those which are <br />shown to do harm. <br />The potential benefits to <br />police agencies adopting this approach are many and include: <br />• Reduced crime <br />• Increased legitimacy <br />• Reduced internal problems <br />• Addressing community concerns <br />12 Lum, C. and Koper, C.S.
