INDIANAPOLIS – As the City of Indianapolis continues to work to reduce crime, $500,000 has been set aside to help equip small businesses with b-link cameras.
The b-link program allows personal and business security cameras to join a network of live-stream video access for IMPD to use in the event of a crime or incident in the vicinity.
Currently, 33 businesses have more than 120 cameras registered. The program was launched in 2019.
Now, small businesses can apply for a one-time grant of up to $2,500 to install and manage business cameras
Businesses can also connect in-service security cameras or apply to offset the cost of camera installation through the b-link Pro program
“Through the b-link program, the IMPD has been successful in identifying the vehicles and arresting the suspects. This program allows our community to work directly with IMPD by providing critical video and evidence that helps our detectives solve crimes and ensure that victims receive justice,” said the Deputy Chief of Investigations in IMPD Kendale Adams.
