This is “in support of the city’s efforts to improve street safety and beautification.”
The following report is a press release from the Governor’s website (excerpts):
Building on public safety investments in Oakland and the East Bay, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has entered into a contract with Flock Safety to install a network of approximately 480 high-tech cameras in the City of Oakland and on state freeways in the East Bay to combat criminal activity and freeway violence. The camera network will use a patented technology that allows law enforcement agencies to identify vehicle attributes beyond license plate numbers, enabling the CHP, the Oakland Police Department, and allied agencies to search for vehicles suspected to be linked to crimes and receive real-time alerts about their movement.
This investment marks another step forward in our commitment to bolstering public safety and tackling organized crime and roadway violence in Oakland and across California. With the installation of these 480 high-tech camera networks, we’re equipping law enforcement with the tools they need to effectively combat criminal activity and hold perpetrators accountable — building safer, stronger communities for all Californians.
Newsom said in a statement.
480 new high-tech cameras are being installed along freeways and in Oakland to make the area safer.
These will help law enforcement identify vehicles linked to crimes using real-time information and alerts.
