Flock Cameras are really good camera systems. The Commission needs to allocate some of the American Rescue Plan money to camera systems downtown. While they are at it some storage systems for the cameras at all of the intersections would be good also. That could help prove who was at fault in auto accidents and right now there is no video backup for those cameras.
It seems like everything to deter crime is proposed for downtown. When will people start deterring crime in other areas of Richmond County especially South Augusta? It has always been ignored and seems like it will continue to be.
South Augusta does not have the density of businesses and people concentrated in one place as downtown. I’m sure if there was an area like that in SAG that had repeated crime, resources would be allotted.
