This is a great idea. Many other municipalities have been utilizing this for years successfully. It acts equally as an investigative tool as well as an deterrent. I would like to see cameras recording at other strategic public locations as well. How valuable would it be to be able to review video after a crime is committed and possibly identify people or vehicles in the area at the time. As for those who fear "Big Brother" watching, public places are public for all to see. Nobody's privacy is at stake. Keep up the good work Chief Hazard.

No thanks. Not right for Cornwall, IMHO. I would rather see neighborhood watch programs or something along those lines. These are kids not hardened criminals.

It takes people willing to sacrifice time out of their day for neighborhood watches to work. Though altruistic in theory, crime/incidents happen on such an infrequent basis that watcher's would soon find their efforts fruitless or at very least very boring. Having an unblinking eye watching would fill an obvious void. Some would prefer to keep their heads firmly planted in the sand. Things do happen, yes, even in Cornwall. Hardened criminals or not, these kids committed a crime(hint: that makes them a criminal). Add that to the glut of half-way house residents that wonder our flawless paradise. We should be supporting any proactive programs we can get. Last thing we need is an incident to happen. I would recommend a video system that can be moved from area to area as needed. A permanent installation is no longer a necessity. A small-scale camera dvr combination can be ideal and low cost. I use a three camera system in my business and they are great.
The options you have are the one's you give yourself.

Are you scared or something? Cameras pointed at toilets aren't going to protect you from those menacing half-way house residents and criminal children...

Stay focused - this is about bored teens and sharpie markers.
