[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of
the Village of Pleasant Prairie 11-7-2005 by Ord. No. 05-51;
amended in its entirety 4-1-2013 by Ord. No. 13-10. Subsequent amendments noted where
applicable.]
It is the purpose and intent of this chapter
to provide for the implementation and use of digital security imaging
systems (hereinafter referred to as "DSIS") that monitor the exterior
spaces and areas of certain commercial retail establishments and retail
developments in the Village of Pleasant Prairie. The DSIS will afford
the opportunity for public safety departments (e.g., Village Police
Department and Village Fire & Rescue Department) to visually examine
certain retail establishments and retail development sites and will
provide emergency response personnel with a visual assessment of an
emergency situation in advance of arrival without placing an undue
burden for services on the taxpayers. The advanced visual assessment
may pertain to a person or persons (personal identification), a location
(scene identification), and/or a situation (action identification)
in emergency situations. The implementation and usage of DSIS will
facilitate law enforcement agencies in crime investigation. While
it is anticipated that the implementation and usage of DSIS will greatly
aid law enforcement agencies in subsequent criminal investigations
and prosecutions, it is recognized that DSIS alone cannot provide
for or be solely relied upon to produce positive personal, action,
or scene identification. Furthermore, it is recognized that since
there is no Village requirement that these systems be actively monitored,
it cannot be reasonably expected that these systems will, on their
own, necessarily provide a safer or more secure environment, nor are
they a substitute for other security measures. It is also the intent
of this chapter to attain commercial retail environments of sustained
desirability and economic stability and to avoid unreasonable adverse
effects to the property values of the surrounding properties and surrounding
neighborhoods and to maintain and promote the public health, safety
and welfare of the Village.
