The installation of a new surveillance camera on Bay St is an investment in the security of residents & patrons alike. Thank you to @StatenIslandDA, the NYPD, and other community and elected partners for standing alongside me in prioritizing the safety of my constituents.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to District Attorney McMahon and our New York Senators for their unwavering commitment to the safety of our community.
Their support in installing surveillance cameras along the Bay Street corridor is a significant step forward in our efforts to keep our island safe.
These cameras will serve as a powerful tool in deterring crime and ensuring that our streets remain secure for all residents and visitors.
