Wolfville, NS improves by-law enforcement with Community Video Camera Pilot Project
Wolfville, NS Community Video Camera Pilot Project
Local police reported an increase in property crimes and vandalism in early 2022. Town officials initially proposed a two-year pilot before approving a one-year trial. Nine camera locations near Acadia University were selected based on recent patterns of by-law violations. Milestone's XProtect system stores video footage for easy retrieval during the pilot. Law enforcement officials review footage following incidents rather than conducting real-time surveillance.
