Project Blue Light helps deter crime in Ecorse and Highland Park

A partnership between Ecorse and Highland Park is working together to reduce the amount of crime in their cities. A pilot program funded in part by the State of Michigan's Financially Distressed Cities Grant has developed a live stream surveillance system that is connected to their police departments. The blinking blue lights let the community know that there are cameras at an establishment. (This is very similar to the Blue Light Project that is at numerous businesses in the City of Detroit.)

In Ecorse, the Blue Light is at Ecorse Market located at 585 Visger (corner of Visger and 19th St)....
