Police Chief Kathy Lester says her department now has access to more than 2,600 surveillance cameras around the city. Some are on city streets, while others are owned by businesses.
"Since 2022, one of the most significant contributors to our violent crime reduction has been how we have modernized and strategically employed technology, and we know that technology can really be a force multiplier," Lester said.
"It doesn't replace people," Lester said. "We know that technology doesn't do that."
Between 2022 and last year, the number of homicides has fallen 22%. Robberies have dropped 29%, and vehicle theft is down 37%.
"I truly believe that the work the Sacramento Police Department is doing is at the very top of what I'm seeing in cities across the United States," said Scott Ford with the Downtown Sacramento Partnership.
"Hopefully, we are all sensitive about civil rights and preserving civil rights," said Sacramento City Councilmember Roger Dickinson.
"Let's celebrate the wins that crime is down in this city, but also acknowledge we have more work to do," Councilmember Lisa Kaplan said.
There could soon be more cameras coming. Some city leaders say they support installing new cameras that automatically issue tickets to the owners of vehicles caught running a red light.
