Keeping the public safe is one of the highest priorities for local governments and with that in mind the Bensalem Police Department is adding one more tool to its public safety toolbox for businesses and the community.
The department recently launched a new website where residents and businesses can sign up for the township’s camera registry effort and find out more about the program.
“The department is utilizing Fūsus to create stronger public-private collaborations and enable businesses and community members to work more closely with law enforcement,” according to the connect Bensalem website.
“The security safety agency works to make law enforcement officers, security personnel and the communities they protect safer,” Fusus officials say.
The use of video footage recently led to the speedy apprehension of a suspected armed robber by police, officials said.
