JUNCTION CITY — The Junction City Commission has approved the purchase of new video surveillance equipment for the 5th Street Playground Park in the area of the new playground equipment.

Police Chief Dan Breci said it will enhance security in that area and aid in the apprehension of criminals during criminal investigations.

“The cameras could also prevent the open sale of narcotics in the park and surrounding areas. The city has made an investment as well as obtained private donations for the upgrade of Playground Park. and adding these cameras with 360-degree viewing would improve not only perceived security of park-goers but also cause potential criminals to stay out of the park.”

Total cost of the project will be $26,934.75 including installation.
