Pasadena will implement new crime-fighting technology, such as a gunshot detection system, as part of an initiative to enhance policing in the city.
“We are looking at the possibility of installing ‘Ring’ cameras for residences,” said Pasadena Police Department Lt. Bill Grisafe. “We just began looking at that, there may be other ventures that may be helpful.”The Pasadena police said that home security video recorded on “Ring” cameras helps investigators piece together crime scenes quickly and more accurately, so much so that the Pasadena City Council is considering a program to give cameras to residents in high crime areas.
While the City Council is still considering the camera initiative, the city is set to launch its gunshot detection system from ShotSpotter, which police said can dispatch officers faster and more precisely after a shooting. The gunshot detection system will launch next week in the Villa Parke area, where authorities said gun violence is more concentrated. The city has also approved a $165,000 purchase of automatic license plate readers, which will be deployed in the Rose Bowl area.
“This is an alarming continuation in the creepy increases in surveillance by Pasadena city police,” a resident said during a recent council meeting.
