A blinking blue light camera was installed this week on the light pole at the northwest corner of Morse and Greenview. At the November beat meeting, a resident in a building at that corner had reported witnessing drug dealing, and police made an arrest there in December.
Betsy Vandercook, the chief of staff for 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore, wrote me earlier in the week that a camera was slated to be installed there "based on an analysis of emerging crime trends and intelligence."
What is the point of the cameras, isn't there already a camera on Morse street?

A Cheeks: Cops said there has been increased the criminal activity here. The camera at Morse and Glenwood certainly can't see down Greenview or into the 1500 block of Morse.
