The Lindsay Downtown Business Improvement Area is excited to announce the installation of a cutting-edge CCTV camera system throughout the downtown.
Funded through a collaborative effort between the City of Kawartha Lakes and the provincial government, the project also includes support from the Kawartha Lakes Police Service. The LDBIA will manage the operation and maintenance of the system, which is expected to deter criminal activity, provide assistance during emergencies, and enhance the sense of security for everyone in the downtown core.
“We believe that safety is paramount to revitalizing and enhancing our downtown area,” said Melissa McFarland, Executive Director of the LDBIA. “The CCTV camera system represents a proactive step towards creating a safer community, where residents can enjoy our local businesses and visitors can explore all that Lindsay has to offer without concern.”
The footage collected by the system will be strictly regulated and only accessible to law enforcement agencies for crime investigation purposes, ensuring privacy while still providing crucial support for crime prevention.
The installation of the CCTV system highlights the strong partnership between the Kawartha Lakes Police Service, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and the LDBIA, all working towards the shared goal of improving safety and quality of life in Lindsay’s downtown area.
With this new initiative in place, the community is encouraged to enjoy the benefits of a more secure downtown, where local businesses can thrive, and residents and visitors alike can feel at ease.
