Ocean City Wants Security Cameras in Stores



After a vandalism spree the month before, store owners would like to have security cameras in most stores on the boardwalk. The vandalism damaged a lot of stores and store owners would not like that to happen again. The only problem with the security cameras is that the city doesn't have enough money. The city council president said "the cameras could make sense in a time when the city can't afford to have as many police officers on the street." This is true but in my opinion, it's much safer to have police officers than more security cameras because officers can catch the people who vandalize the stores. Also, Wildwood would want to have cameras installed but they have enough money and Ocean City doesn't have enough money. The cost of the installation is going to cost $380,000.
