The City of Dauphin is set to receive additional funding for High-resolution CCTV cameras from the provincial government.
Justice Minister Matt Wiebe announced this today, noting that funding for this project will be coming from the criminal property forfeiture fund.
Approximately $24,000 from the fund will support the installation of 15 new high-resolution cameras at additional city-owned or city-affiliated facilities in Dauphin
This builds on a previous initiative to upgrade seven existing cameras to high-resolution and add 10 high-resolution cameras on city-owned property.
Mayor David Boziak stated "This investment not only helps deter crime but also promotes a greater sense of security for our residents. We are proud to partner with the Manitoba government to make Dauphin a safer place for everyone.”
Since its inception in 2009, the Criminal Property Forfeiture Branch has disbursed more than $30 million that has been seized through criminal investigations.
