What happened
Patty Hughes, CEO of the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce, asked city council to consider a $100,000 grant to launch a Remote Guard camera system. This proposal is based on results from a comparable city in Penticton, B.C. The cameras are intended to address recurring issues such as loitering, vandalism, and property damage in the downtown area. Hughes noted that these nuisance activities are straining resources and affecting public confidence in safety.
