Mobile CCTV Pilot Program

The Menlo Park Police Department has launched a pilot program using mobile CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) cameras to enhance public safety and address quality-of-life concerns in our community. These cameras are mounted on trailers and deployed in public spaces where crime, safety, or chronic nuisance issues have been reported.

The cameras are highly visible and feature flashing blue lights to ensure transparency. They are intended to deter illegal activity, assist in investigations, and provide additional situational awareness for officers.

This advanced technology allows us to focus these cameras on the specific areas that need attention, while blocking out field-of-view access to areas that might be considered a privacy intrusion at the same time.

This program reflects our commitment to maintaining safe, welcoming public spaces while respecting privacy and focusing only on areas where no reasonable expectation of privacy exists.
