While taking a casual stroll around my neighborhood and observing the crime prevention measures in place to help mitigate crime, I came across the things below.

Many of these camera boxes are placed strategically though out New York and many neighborhoods. These cameras are a part of the shot spotter program, which pinpoints the location of any shots fired within its detection zone. It also provides a visual of the area, so responding officers can see if there are any people of concern within the area.

Another Item put in place by the NYPD is mobile flood lights. The flood lights are placed in areas where permanent light fixtures do not provide adequate lighting for people walking in the area. This provides additional lighting so people can see the area and any possible dangers.
