It is a WiFi service area that provides wireless service all over the city. When I initially heard about the City of Brunswick’s plan, I only thought of the benefits of private citizens being able to get online for free. But the main stimulus for the City was to aid the Police Department and the Fire Department in better and more effectively attending to needs. Cameras placed at strategic spots can record live video streams and store the video for approximately 2 weeks. The Police Chief, Edna Johnson, was excited of the ability to see what’s going on while it was happening. Field Officers are able to write up reports without having to drive back to the Police Department. 

 

Kudos to the City of Brunswick for investing in this system to keep our city safe and protected and even better, it’s something we can all use!
