The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) is set to propose new legislation to the Metropolitan Council in their meeting scheduled for October 15. This proposed legislation aims to facilitate the sharing of external surveillance camera video feeds from businesses and commercial establishments to aid in criminal investigations.
The MNPD is seeking the Council’s approval to enter into a contract with FUSUS, a vendor that will enable a streamlined process for receiving video feeds. Under this system, businesses would voluntarily share their external surveillance videos using a FUSUS device, which they would acquire to connect with the police department.
