The east Bronx is welcoming
an upgrade in NYPD security
and surveillance. Ten new
‘argus’ surveillance cameras
are being installed around the
45th Precinct as of Wednesday,
August 28.
Councilman Mark Gjonaj
made the announcement adjacent
to the City Island Bridge
on City Island Avenue, one of
the locations that received the
monitored camera upgrade.

East Tremont Avenue and
Unionport Road, Zerega and
Westchester avenues, Brush
Avenue near The Home Depot
Entrance, and Tratman and
St. Peters avenues.
Each of these spots were determined
to need the surveillance
by the 45th according to
Gjonaj.
The intersection of Tratman
and St. Peters is home to
the Pearly Gates Park, which
has been receiving security
upgrades for some years now
because of nefarious behavior.
The NYC Parks Department
installed improved LED
lighting there in 2018 to discourage
criminal activity as
well.
“Of course nothing beats
having police on the ground
but I truly do believe these
cameras are one of the next
best things,” Gonaj said, mentioning
the $1 million in funding
that he allocated for the
cameras.
“The message is clear, if
you commit a crime - you will
be caught,” the councilman
said.
