Increased Camera Surveillance, Bag Searches At 2014 Boston Marathon Route

Posted by dtaitano 6:00 pm Categories: City Surveillance. Tags: , , , .

FRAMINGHAM – Public safety officials announced plans for stepped up security measures at the 2014 Boston Marathon at a joint press conference with marathon organizers on Monday. There will be a significant increase in the public safety presence across the entire route this year but organizers say that they are doing everything they can to maintain the atmosphere of the race. A bulked-up public safety presence will be particularly noticeable at the start and finish lines of the race, as well as in popular spectator areas. "We are confident that the overall experience with runners and spectators will not be impacted and all will enjoy a fun, festive and family-oriented day," said Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency Director Kurt Schwartz. A stepped-up video surveillance and bag inspection effort is planned for the event. Spectators are strongly discouraged from bringing over the shoulder bags or backpacks to any spot along the 26.2 mile route. Searches at screening points are likely according to officials and could lead to long delays at entry points. Spectators are advised to bring all their personal items to the racecourse in a clear plastic bag similar to one they would use for passing through airport security screening checkpoints. An enhanced video surveillance program will be in place along the racecourse. The plan includes the deployment of the portable surveillance cameras that were first used at the 2013 Independence Day celebration on the Boston Esplanade. Private businesses along the course have been contacted about possible involvement in the […]

$7M In New Surveillance Cameras To BeIinstalled On Boston Buses

Posted by dtaitano 4:47 pm Categories: Mobile / In-Vehicle. Tags: , , .

Privacy SOS Despite the fact that the crime rate on public transit systems in Boston is  declining , the MBTA has just announced that it intends to install brand new surveillance camera systems inside hundreds of buses throughout the city. The Boston region’s millions of commuters and hundreds of thousands of residents can once again thank the federal Department of Homeland Security for yet another hit to our privacy.    From  Boston Magazine : The MBTA is retrofitting 225 buses in its fleet with new high-tech cameras that show the insides of the vehicles from multiple angles. Not only will the transit authority be able to get a better look at who’s riding the bus, but each installation includes a four-screen monitor housed at the front of the vehicles, affording other riders utilizing the transit system a chance to see what’s happening during their commute. So far, only 10 vehicles have been retrofitted with the new devices, but MBTA officials said by summertime 215 more vehicles will feature the same updated technology. Money to pay for the cameras came in the form of a federal grant from the Department of Homeland Security. The MBTA is relying completely on the nearly $7 million allocation to purchase and install the cameras and multi-view surveillance screens. The T spent none of its own money on this particular project, officials said. According to the Boston Magazine report, the system enables MBTA police to wirelessly link into the surveillance cameras on each bus, raising […]

surveillance cameras bostonherald.com 2013-09-11 08:15:38 Boston needs more public surveillance cameras to help law enforcement respond to terrorist threats and even thwart potential attacks, several mayoral candidates reached by the Herald agreed yesterday. “Those cameras, they’re out there and they’ve been helpful; that’s really how the Boston Marathon case was solved,” said Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F Follow-up report to me Any reported complete Just news photo Just video . Conley, who said a closed-circuit television system monitored by officers with cameras at key locations throughout the city would allow quicker police response. “If I’m mayor of Boston, I’m going to make sure that we have a publicly deployed system down on Boylston Street for sure, and we’re going to harden that target.” Federal funding for surveillance skyrocketed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York City, and Bay State authorities have been more strident in their support for them since the April 15 marathon bombings. This summer, state police installed an unspecified number of new cameras on the Esplanade ahead of the Fourth of July. The growth of video surveillance in cities such as New York and London has sparked civil liberties concerns. State Rep. Martin J. Walsh said if elected mayor, he will “certainly take a look” at adding more cameras, but he added, “There are already a lot of security cameras in Boston, including private security cameras that have been […]
