Closed circuit television (CCTV) programs use surveillance cameras in public areas to assist in the
prevention of property and persons crimes. CCTV is designed to increase formal surveillance by making it
easier for the police to monitor the behavior of citizens, including potential offenders. CCTV is intended to
deter crime by increasing the risk of detection for criminal behavior. CCTV footage can also be used to
identify suspects in offenses that are committed within view of the camera. The Miami Police Department's
Real Time Crime Center currently has about two hundred cameras in its network that surveil. These cameras
have proven to be extremely effective in assisting the Department in, not only preventing and reducing
crime but, investigating and solving cases. We are continuing to utilize many different resources to expand
our Real Time Crime Center program. Below are the Allapattah NET locations where we will be placing
CCTV cameras:
1- NW 33rd Street, 50 feet east of 1 1th court, south side
2- NW 7th Ave & 15th Street, Northwest corner
3- NW 15th Ave, 150 feet north of 19th Street, east side
4- NW 22nd court & 28th street, Northwest corner
5- 30 feet east of 21st Ave on 24th Street, south side
6- 2003 NW 24 Street, North side
7- NW 19th Ave & 22nd Street, Northeast corner
8- 10 feet north of NW 25th St on 10th Ave, west side
9- NW 17th Avenue & 35th Street, Southeast corner
10- 30 feet north of 32 street on 7th Ave, west side
The above locations are some of our high crime areas that have specifically been affected by violent crimes.
These cameras will be monitored by officers in the Real Time Crime Center. Our goal for placing cameras
at the above locations will also be to prevent/reduce crime and to assist the Police Department in solving
crimes.
