The Middletown Police Department will install 29 new street cameras by use of a handsome public safety grant recently approved by the state legislature.

In the next six to 12 months, new cameras will be installed at busy intersections and high-value locations where the city has made large investments, such as Erie Way Park and Rail Trail Commons, according to Middletown Police Department Lieutenant Jeffry Thoelen.
