Bronxville OKs Yonkers partnership to monitor village cameras and license-plate readers at no cost
Summary
Trustees approved a one-year agreement with the city of Yonkers for Yonkers staff to monitor Bronxville surveillance cameras and new license-plate readers (LPR) in real time and to notify Bronxville police of hits; the service was described as cost-free to the village.
Village Administrator presented a new one-year agreement with the city of Yonkers to allow Yonkers staff to monitor the village's surveillance cameras and license-plate readers (LPR) in real time. The village said Yonkers has greater staffing capacity and will provide immediate alerts to Bronxville police when the system produces a match.
"This is a new, actually, a new 1 year agreement... to allow the city to monitor, if you will, our surveillance cameras, and new LPR, license plate readers on in the village, in real time," the administrator said, adding that Yonkers will operate the monitoring at no cost to the village.
The board moved, seconded and approved the partnership by voice vote. Trustees noted the strong working relationship with Yonkers police and that the village sometimes receives assistance from Yonkers units such as animal control or specialized teams that Bronxville does not staff in-house.
