When you're in Beachwood , you have arrived!
SAFETY FORCES MAKING HIGH-TECH UPGRADES
Our Safety Forces will be purchasing 15 advanced camera systems for police cruisers and 55 body camera units for officers. These, in addition to the city's new fiber-optic network, provide the ability to communicate more efficiently in emergencies. Beachwood is the first city in the state to utilize these cameras which offer 360-degree, high-definition views. It is also one of the few police departments in the state to stream live video back to dispatch.
HOME HERITAGE PROGRAM
For homes over 50 years of age, the Heritage Home Program offers free technical assistance to help plan and execute remodeling or maintenance projects. Program staff provides free on-site consultation for construction projects, share information on local contractors and review estimates received from contractors. The Heritage Home Program also offers a 2% fixed-rate financing option for most projects. An informational presentation will be held by Heritage Home Program staff at Beachwood City Hall on Wednesday, April 13 at 7:00 pm. For more information, visit www.heritagehomeprogram.org or call 216.426.3116.
The total cost for all cameras is $208,961 which comes at no cost to taxpayers.
The total cost for all cameras is $208,961 which comes at no cost to the taxpayer. Instead, the City is using funds that were seized or forfeited during Beachwood Police Department criminal investigations. “We want to provide the maximum amount of safety we can for our police officers,” Police Chief Keith Winebrenner said. “They are out there 24-7, putting themselves on the line for our residents and our businesses. Beachwood is a very safe community and that’s in part because of our excellent police presence.” Our new fiber/wireless network will benefit Beachwood officers, residents and Beachwood City Schools. Fiber cable has been installed and radio towers and traffic control signals are being connected to the network. Use of this network will save the City about $12,000 a month which was formerly paid to AT&T as an outside service provider.
