Investment being made to help reduce gun and gang violence.
The NRP is getting some money from the province to expand video surveillance systems.
The agency is getting just over $175,000 over three years to help expand video surveillance systems.
The money will be used to replace outdated equipment, enhance current technology and install new surveillance cameras in areas where violent crime is prevalent.
Solicitor General Michael Kerzner says the investment will help protect communities from gun and gang violence.
"Our government is determined to provide police services with the tools and resources they need to keep Ontarians safe," said Solicitor General Michael Kerzner. "CCTV surveillance systems are an important part of local police work to detect, prevent and deter criminal activity, especially in areas of gun and gang violence and other serious crimes. This funding will help police services strengthen CCTV capacity and improve crime prevention efforts to better protect communities."
