Ambler may add cameras to deter crime

Chris Holtz, Ambler resident and senior account manager for Thompson Networks in Doylestown, and Thompson Networks Vice President Sean Galt, made a presentation to council about installing cameras in borough parks.

Councilwoman Anita Pieri, who chairs the parks and recreation committee, said the borough is looking into adding cameras to protect the investment of a future building, the Green Building at Knight Park.

Holtz said video surveillance cameras not only serve as a deterrent to vandalism, but also offer the capability to "capture, record and review."

He said police Chief Bill Foley told him the department needs better descriptions of vandalism suspects. Police can rewind the DVR and see firsthand what complainants describe, Holtz said.
