GROSSE POINTE FARMS — The Grosse Pointe Farms Public Safety Department is updating its departmental security camera system for increased security for officers and the public.
Deputy Public Safety Director John Hutchins said that the existing camera system will be upgraded from analog to digital, will include a large monitor for the dispatching area and a new video server, and will add 14 more cameras to cover areas that hadn’t been fully monitored by cameras before, such as some exterior parts of the building, garages, department hallways, the municipal courtroom and court office, the jail cell, and the fire division. The addition will bring the department’s number of security cameras to 30, Hutchins said.
