SENATE CONCURRENT RESOL UTION NO. 82
BY SENATOR MURRAY
A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To encourage business owners and residents of Louisiana to take all measures to ensure the
safety of their property, including considering the installation of security cameras to
enhance safety, deter crime, and otherwise provide for the protection of their
property.
WHEREAS, security cameras were commonly once limited in use to provide security
for banks and by security intensive operations such as casinos and airports, but have now
become economical for small business owners and residents to purchase for an additional
layer of security at a business or at home; and
WHEREAS, according to the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics,
approximately seventy-five percent of all crime in the United States is property crime; and
WHEREAS, security cameras are known and utilized to reduce incidents such as
shoplifting, burglaries, and property vandalism; and
WHEREAS, in addition to deterring criminal activity, other beneficial reasons to
purchase and install a security camera are to monitor the premises and property, and the
ability to observe activity at a business or home remotely; and
WHEREAS, because of the benefits of security cameras and other security resources,
such as neighborhood watch organizations and monitored alarm systems, business owners
and residents are encouraged to consider all possible ways to enhance security at their
property.
