Alert Protective Services Employed by Chicago Police for Alternative Policing Strategy
At a meeting held May 1, the Chicago Police Department hosted an orientation and training meeting for District 19 CAPS officers who will be utilizing an innovative network of cloud-based cameras installed throughout Roscoe Village as part of the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy initiative.
“The centerpiece of the program is the installation of up to 30 cameras in Roscoe Village,” said Bryan Niermeyer, commercial sales manager at Alert Protective Services, the company selected by the Roscoe Village Neighbors to complete the task. “These night vision equipped cameras will feed fully encrypted video footage into a cloud system that CAPS officers can access upon request as part of their investigation and crime solving efforts.”
