The Freeport, Texas, Police Department is in the process of installing video-surveillance cameras in a project with ADT Security Services and Motorola Solutions Inc. The project underscores how wireless technology can be used to increase security for the nation’s first responders.
Police Chief Ty Morrow said Freeport has a variety of potential dangers due to its coastal location and industries housed in the area. Freeport is the United States’ 16th largest business port and home to 29 of the world’s largest chemical companies. Plus, the city is close to Mexico, so the potential to smuggle illegal drugs into the country through Freeport is a problem. Initially, the cameras will be set up to monitor a public housing project and a marina.
