The City Council last week unanimously passed an upgrade of security cameras in the city.
The project will bring all video cameras in the city under one system. Images will be transmitted to the Police Department.
The city will use money from the Community Orientated Police Services technology grant program to buy software for the video camera system for $244,682.
According to Councilman Peter Yao in an e-mail: "The Claremont Video project is a video camera system with multiple cameras mounted on a police vehicle. As the vehicle is driven down a street, parking lot, etc., it reads and enters license plate numbers into a computer. The computer compares the plate number with a state database and instantly identifies problem vehicles (parking tickets, outstanding warrants, stolen vehicle).
"The officer in charge can impound the vehicle, wait and arrest the driver, boot clamp the tires, etc.
"Other features include 'remembering' where a vehicle was previously detected and if the vehicle was newly reported as having been involved in a crime, officers may look for the suspect at previous known parked sites."
An earlier staff report said the system "shall not be used to arbitrarily view citizens, nor shall cameras be utilized to invade the privacy of anyone in a non-public place."
The video systems will look over:
• Wilderness Park
• city yards
• Oak Park Cemetery
• Metrolink parking lot and platform
• Claremont High School
• Cahuilla Park
• City Hall
• the downtown parking structure
• Village Plaza
• the Police Department's jail, communications and interview room
• Alexander Hughes Community Center.
