The Logan Safety Camera Program has taken delivery of a new mobile safety camera vehicle, made possible through the Federal Government's Safer Communities Fund. The new vehicle will assist with monitoring public spaces and hard to reach areas that are not already monitored through permanent safety cameras. The vehicle can be deployed immediately to monitor emerging community safety issues and provides Council and the Police with a real-time crime fighting tool.
