CINCINNATI -- Police will get some extra eyes around Cincinnati, where 120 crime cameras will be installed at no cost to local taxpayers.

A $2 million federal grant will pay for the surveillance cameras, which will be connected to laptops in police cruisers.

“Hopefully by doing this, first, we come into the modern age and, two, we really begin to make our neighborhoods safer,” said City Councilwoman Roxanne Qualls.

Dispatchers will be able to view the camera images after receiving a 911 call, and some cameras could have sensors that will point at and zoom in on the sound of gunshots.
