April 29 Security Cameras Amsterdam schools beef up security AMSTERDAM, N.Y. -- When Ariel Santiago walks the halls of Marie Curie Institute, he's not doing it as a cop, or a parent, or even former school board member. He's doing it as the newest member of the school's security staff. "The school district hired me as a hall monitor," he said. "When I'm not with the police department, I'm here with the school." The
middle and high school have had hall monitors for some time now, but
after a threat came in to one of the elementary schools, district
officials decided it was time to grow the program. "Times have changed," Santiago said. Each
of the three elementary schools now has officers, active and retired,
walking the halls and watching the cafeteria. Hall monitors are just a
part of it. Officials are doing a district wide safety assessment. April 28 Surveillance Cameras Suspect in helmet attack on Tinian arrested Police arrested on Saturday the suspect who allegedly slammed a motorcycle helmet on a man's head outside a nightclub on Tinian. Before defendant Luis P. Cruz left the scene on board a moped, he was allegedly seen spitting on the victim, who was already lying on the ground. Witnesses and a surveillance camera that caught the attack on tape reportedly led to the identification of the 41-year-old Cruz. The victim, Cui Jingzhu, was transported to Tinian Health Center, then to the Commonwealth Health Center for head injuries. According to a Tinian detective, when he interviewed Jingzhu at CHC on Friday, he and a Korean/Chinese translator could not understand what the victim was saying. The detective said that the victim was talking to himself and at the same time doing odd sign languages. Cruz was arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon and aggravated assault and battery. A $25,000 cash bail was initially imposed for his temporary release.

Resources for April 25 Surveillance CamerasMurder linked to theft of drugsSCHENECTADY -- An alleged crack dealer shot and killed former Schenectady High basketball star Xavier McDaniel Jr. last year because he thought McDaniel had stolen drugs, cash and a gun from him, a prosecutor said during opening arguments Wednesday in the trial of his alleged killer. Schenectady County Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Philip Mueller told jurors his case will show Omari Lee, 26, fired two shots at point blank range, killing McDaniel, as he sat in his car on Hamilton Street on April 3, 2007. Lee is charged with a 14-count indictment, which includes first-degree murder.

Resources for April 23 Surveillance cameras installed in Seattle's Cal Anderson ParkBig Brother is already watching you in one Seattle park, and Mayor Greg Nickels wants to install surveillance cameras in three others to curb graffiti, drug dealing and other crimes. Without public notice, Nickels had three surveillance cameras installed and turned on in Capitol Hill's Cal Anderson Park on Feb. 20. City Council members and the American Civil Liberties Union aren't happy about that. Council members wanted to know who could watch the video, how long it would be kept, and what safeguards would protect the privacy of innocent citizens. The council's Parks and Seattle Center Committee is scheduled to discuss those safeguards at a meeting today. The council had put a budget restriction last year on park surveillance cameras until it learned more about the mayor's plan, but Nickels found a different pot of money for the Cal Anderson cameras.
