advertisement
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) recently installed 20 exterior surveillance cameras at 12 Metrorail stations in the District of Columbia and Fairfax County.
The Metro Transit Police Department identified stations where external surveillance cameras could help deter and prevent crime, and assist police with criminal investigations. The recommendations were based on crime statistics and the need for security enhancements at the stations, according to WMATA.
D.C. provided $200,000 for its 17 cameras, and Fairfax County provided $75,000 for four of the cameras.
