FROM GRAFFITI bandits to seasoned criminals, those doing the wrong thing are now on notice -- the police are always watching.
Glenorchy Mayor Stuart Slade today turned on 16 fixed CCTV cameras and four mobile camera units designed to keep the city safe.
The cameras were made possible by a $123,000-plus Federal Government grant using money from the Proceeds of Crime Fund.
"We're using criminals' money to catch criminals," Alderman Slade said.
"It's been a long time coming but it's now very pleasing to see that the Glenorchy city -- like other Tasmanian cities -- is providing additional safety measures for its local community."
Demonstrating the cameras this morning at the Glenorchy Police Station, Inspector Grant Twining said police would monitor the cameras and deal with offenders caught red-handed.
The footage from all fixed cameras is recorded around the clock and will be stored for about a month.
"These cameras are a great tool for day-to-day policing and will also help police investigating serious crime," he said.
Tasmanian Labor Senator Carol Brown, who was instrumental in securing the funding for the cameras, said their installation was certain to enhance public safety.
"I want to congratulate the Glenorchy City Council and their partner organisation, the Moonah-Glenorchy Business Association, on the successful implementation of the project," she said.
"I know the council, in particular Mayor Stuart Slade, has been a tireless advocate for the introduction of CCTV cameras in the Glenorchy CBD."
