NYC - Considering More Surveillance Cameras

New York - New York City Police Department is considering installing surveillance cameras that would be pointed at tunnels, bridges and subway stations in Lower Manhattan in its fight against terrorism, similar to London's financial district.

A team of New York Police Department experts visited London in the fall to look at its system of closed-circuit cameras, which are posted at various points in its financial district and near landmarks.
Those cameras helped London police to quickly provide images of suspected bombers during the terror attack in the London Underground last summer.

The city already has 1,000 cameras in its sprawling network of subways and commuter rail facilities, with plans to add another 1,000
surveillance cameras and 3,000 motion sensors over the next three years.
