Security Camera Rebates Available for Park View Residents & Businesses
CCTV security camera for home protection & surveillance.
Earlier this year, The Private Security Camera Incentive Program, administered by the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants (Office), was established and went into effect. The Program creates a rebate for residents, businesses, nonprofits, and religious institutions to purchase and install security camera systems on their property and register them with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). The program provides a rebate of up to $200 per camera, with a maximum rebate of up to $500 per residential address and $750 for all other addresses. This program is intended to help deter crime and assist law enforcement with investigations (more details here).
If you purchased a security camera after September 22, 2015 , live in the Park View neighborhood, and register your camera with MPD you are eligible for a rebate. The rebate form is located here.
The Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants will give priority consideration to properties, businesses, and religious institutions in the following Police Service Areas (PSA):104, 105, 107, 108, 202, 207, 208, 302, 303, 305, 402, 403, 405, 409, all PSAs in the Fifth Police District, 602, 603, 604, 608, and all PSAs in the Seventh Police District. The good news for those in the Park View area is that the entire neighborhood is in PSA 302 and 409, both of which are priority areas.

I “get” the all Eight Wards mantra, but so many high crime areas in DC were left out. Put the politi aside and do the right thing. They should have based it off of highest crime areas in DC — not by ward. Or done better micro-targeting of high impact areas.
