| Palmdale Puts Criminals on Notice: “We’re Watching You” |
Palmdale to Seize Technological Advantage Over Lawlessness
Palmdale, CA – In a bold move to further enhance community safety, the City of Palmdale is advancing three significant public safety technology initiatives. The new investments include a 50% increase in Flock cameras across the City, an expansion of its Ring camera program with a focus on business users and the deployment of Fūsus, a complete camera monitoring and video data integration platform that will help the City more deeply leverage its extensive camera network.
“Palmdale is no stranger to innovation, and we know that combining technology with boots on the ground provides us with huge advantages in combating crime. Palmdale has already made significant investments in cameras, and adding the Fūsus technology will give a unified view of criminal activity in the City,” said Mayor Austin Bishop. “Bottomline, if you are engaging in illegal activity in Palmdale, we will see you, we will arrest you and we will prosecute you. I urge criminals and those intent on doing evil to share that message with their friends.”
