Continuing efforts to improve public safety by implementing the City Council’s Goals, the City is introducing the Public Safety Reimbursement Program (Program) to allow neighborhoods and individuals to purchase public safety equipment such as security cameras.
Security cameras are effective tools in crime-solving efforts. Neighborhoods and individuals may also propose additional public safety technology that has sufficient potential for public benefit, subject to approval by the Program Coordinator.
Funding Information
The City will provide a one-time reimbursement for half of the cost of a new public safety purchase, up to $2,000 for neighborhoods, and up to $100 for individuals. The City will additionally waive permit fees directly related to the installation of the approved purchase. The neighborhood, individual, or vendor will be responsible for completing any necessary permits prior to installation.
Project Examples
Projects must be purchased after the award of grant funds, as approved by the City such that the project will provide a general public safety benefit. Eligible projects include:
- Doorbell/exterior home security cameras
- Neighborhood entrance security cameras
- Add-on purchase for existing cameras, such as license plate-reading software
- Additional proposals, as approved by the Program Coordinator that demonstrate sufficient safety enhancement measures.
Eligible Applicants
- Neighborhoods representing five or more households are eligible to apply. If the neighborhood has a homeowners association (HOA), portions of the HOA may not apply separately from the HOA. Projects must be located within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.
- Individuals whose neighborhood is not interested in participating are eligible to apply for exterior residence security cameras, such as doorbell cameras, and must be a resident of the City.
- Neighborhoods that have participated in previous City security camera grant programs may not re-apply for another neighborhood camera. Individuals that purchased a doorbell camera through the City’s doorbell camera subsidy program held between 2017 and 2020 may not apply for another individual camera.
