The city said the locations were exempt as “specific confidential investigatory techniques or procedures or specific investigatory work product.”
Officials did release a breakdown of the number of cameras placed in each ward and have said many of the cameras are placed near recreation centers and main corridors with existing infrastructure to support the cameras. Breakdown of the cameras by ward: public.flourish.studio/visualisation/…
