The City of Brampton is enhancing public safety by installing 360-degree cameras and licence plate recognition technology at 50 traffic intersections. This innovative initiative will provide Peel Regional Police and other law enforcement agencies with critical data to investigate crimes and improve community safety.
Real-time video footage from these cameras will be captured into a software platform offering police valuable data such as:
- incident date and time
- licence plate numbers
- vehicle information, including the make, model and colour
These cameras and their footage serve as an important crime prevention and investigative tool, enhancing Peel Regional Police’s ability to address traffic-related crime and respond to community safety concerns more efficiently.
To date, 19 intersections are now equipped with 360-degree cameras, with installations at the remaining locations underway. All cameras are anticipated to be installed and operational by the end of this year.
These cameras will not issue tickets. Their primary function is to support public safety by assisting law enforcement agencies in investigating crimes, traffic incidents and other safety concerns.
