In a 7-0 vote, the Anaheim City Council approved Purchase Order Nos. 309-408212 and 309-407722 to Motorola Solutions on Tuesday night, a $736,334.32 deal for 72 Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs).
According to the city report, 11 of those cameras will be installed in the Anaheim Resort Area, including around Disneyland and the surrounding tourist infrastructure. These cameras are intended to “protect critical infrastructure, deter potential acts of terrorism, and support crime prevention efforts,” with funding in part coming from the Anaheim Police Foundation.
An additional 20 cameras will be placed throughout the city to target retail theft and support crime prevention, while 41 cameras will be deployed across the broader Orange County operational area as part of a regional surveillance network.
