Baltimore County parks turn to video surveillance for help
Five regional parks in Baltimore County will soon be outfitted with comprehensive surveillance systems in an effort to put a stop to vandalism. Last year, it was estimated that vandals cost the county upwards of $250,000. The damage included graffiti, demolished playgrounds, picnic benches, pavilions and signs, stolen maintenance equipment, and arson. Strategically placed security cameras are known to deter such activity, and the county is hoping its new surveillance strategy will drastically reduce the number of incidents and the amount of money spent on park repairs.
