“Being a Safe City is a top priority for the City Council and we will continue to focus on providing the necessary resources to keep Brampton safe city to live, work and play,” Brown said.
The motion, which calls for the Peel Police Board to work with the provincial government for approval and funding of this camera, seconded by Deputy Chief Ron Chatha and approved.
“Recently, a gang shooting targeted at 410 has been partly due to the lack of a camera and the ability quickly to clear the scene. We can not allow blind spots like this that the gang clearly took advantage of. “
