A plan to install 10 surveillance cameras in high-crime areas of Pottstown was presented to the borough council this week.
The camera system, which is being funded by the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, will be monitored around the clock by the Pottstown Police Department, said Assistant District Attorney Brianna Ringwood.
The cameras, which can be moved to different locations as needed, will be useful in apprehending suspects and aiding investigations, Ringwood said. The system can be expanded to 36 cameras.
The District Attorney's Office will seek partners in the community, including businesses, to help increase the number of cameras.
