Council Member Joe Jones wants to bring more security cameras to the fight against crime in Cleveland. “It is our belief that if we are able to put more these in our neighborhood and in our community, it will help,” he said. “That is better than block watch, because those cameras will go off and catch everything.”Jones was referring to door bell cameras like the Amazon Ring. He recently persuaded Cuyahoga County Council to allocate $150,000 from federal funds to the Ward 1 Ring Door Bell program.

If you have a doorbell camera at home, or you own a business that uses security cameras, you can make video from them available to Cleveland police to help in investigations. The program is called SAFE SMART CLE. The city launched it in 2023 with high expectations. “It’s our hope, by empowering residents and businesses to be part of the solution, that we’ll be able to save more lives together,” Mayor Justin Bibb said at the time. He has continued to promote the program.
