PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia organization is doing its part to thwart crime and violence in local communities by giving out free cameras to residents and businesses.
The Safe Corridors program focuses on neighborhoods in West Philadelphia that are far too often besieged by gun violence. More than 760 people have applied for a free camera, made possible through a $182k grant from the state with the help of Rep.
Amen Brown. "We're putting power in the hands of residents by giving away free cameras to residents and businesses in these areas," President of the West Philadelphia Corridor Collaborative Jabari Jones said.
Law enforcement officials have said the explosion in home surveillance cameras have helped investigators track down criminals.
