Parks staff review surveillance proposals for pools, courts and restrooms; police offer input
Summary
A security contractor presented proposals to add cameras and timed-door monitoring at pool and bathroom sites, and discussed options including motion lights and a live ‘virtual guard’ call center.
A security consultant presented two proposals to the board for new camera installations: a two-camera setup at Heekin (basketball courts) and an access/camera system for Cooley restrooms that would monitor both doors on a timer. The consultant said he and Carl Malone, superintendent, also inspected Chuy Pool and began mapping a surveillance scope for that location.
The consultant described an optional service called "virtual guard," which routes camera-triggered events to a human call center to challenge unauthorized overnight entrants. He and Malone discussed adding motion-activated lighting as a visible deterrent at pool sites. "If lights go on, that'll deter people immediately," a board member said during the discussion.
Nate Sloan, the police chief, reviewed the proposals with staff and suggested adjustments to camera placement so cameras could also view nearby baseball diamonds and parking areas during concerts and large events.
What’s next: staff will email full proposals and reference installations in other towns to the board, and then circulate pricing and scope documents for further review before any procurement.
