The City of Winter Haven Public Safety, Public Works, Information Technology and City Manager’s Office Teams partnered to install new cameras at key intersections in downtown Winter Haven. This initiative occurred in part due to feedback from Main Street members. The new cameras are located at the intersection of Central and 3rd Street NW and the South Central Kiosk at the intersection of 4th Street NW and Central.
Cameras allow staff and Public Safety personnel to have a real-time view of downtown activity, as well as pull recordings of previous activity if necessary. Future expansion of the downtown camera network is being discussed as City staff continue to extend Wi-Fi availability throughout the downtown area.
