NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - More surveillance cameras and license plate readers are coming to Murfreesboro. The city council approved the contract during their meeting last night.
So far this year, Murfreesboro Police say their cameras and license plate readers have helped solve over 125 cases. They say adding more cameras will help keep the city safer.
Resident Tasha Justice said she would like to see more cameras, saying it would help bolster feelings of security in the area. The issue is especially top of mind after Saturday’s shooting that left two people hurt at Old Fort Park.
“I almost didn’t want to come back here to the park today, but we’re here kids need to play,” said Tosha Justice. She was at the park and left just two hours before the shooting happened.
