On
Monday, March 24, Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orlando Police Chief Val Demings
announced the City's new safety camera program, I.R.I.S.
Using downtown Orlando’s federally-funded homeland
security network as a foundation, the Department will deploy additional
cameras around the City. Specially trained OPD personnel will be able to
monitor those cameras 24 hours a day from a central command center. The
cameras will allow officers to intervene in crimes as, or even before,
they happen.
"The introduction of I.R.I.S. is an important moment for the
safety of our community,” said Mayor Dyer. “We are entering a
new era of community policing – an era in which the power of
pixels can make us a safer city.” |
