At least 1000 community organisations and small businesses will benefit from funding to install CCTV cameras to make our streets even safer under a program to be delivered by the NSW Liberals Nationals Government. Premier Gladys Berejiklian said 5 million will be committed over four years to rollout CCTV cameras in Western and South-Western Sydney before being assessed for expansion to other areas of NSW.Community safety is the NSW Governments top priority and this investment will keep residents and small businesses safe from crime and anti-social behavior Ms Berejiklian said. More CCTV cameras will increase community confidence and send a strong message to would-be criminals that if you do the wrong thing you will be caught and punished.Police Minister Troy Grant said CCTV camera footage can be a vital source of information for NSW Police when gathering intelligence and investigating criminal activity and acts as a deterrent to criminals reducing the likelihood of crime. This is a great initiative that will improve public safety and community confidence by cracking down on criminal and anti-social behavior Mr Grant said.Its about putting criminals on the back foot if they know theyre being watched it makes them think twice about doing the wrong thing. Mr Grant said the program will continue the NSW Liberals Nationals Governments strong record of investment in local community safety initiatives including the Governments commitment to deliver 1500 new police to put more cops on the beat.This program means funds can go directly to small businesses and community groups impacted by crime empowering communities to make our streets even safer Mr Grant said.Eligible community groups and small businesses will be able to apply for up to 5000 in funding and will have their applications assessed by officials from the NSW Police Force and the NSW Department of Justice from April 2019.Community groups and small businesses in the following ten local government areas will be the first groups and businesses eligible to participate in the programBlacktown Camden Campbelltown Canterbury-Bankstown Cumberland Fairfield Liverpool Parramatta Penrith and Wollondilly.
