YNDC Community Safety Program Installs 396 Doorbell Cameras in 2025

Monday, October 6, 2025

YNDC team members have installed 396 cameras this year through the Community Safety program throughout the 2nd Ward of Youngstown and on target new construction blocks across the city. Team members canvassed target areas and installed doorbell cameras at participating households. The program was created based on resident feedback to reduce crime, increase safety, and develop positive relationships with the Youngstown Police Department.

The Community Safety program works with residents, neighborhood groups and the police to build infrastructure among neighbors to prevent crime by building cooperation and mutual trust between residents, corridor business owners, and the police. The program establishes partnerships with households and businesses in violent crime hotspot areas in Youngstown to install doorbell cameras and installs new LED lighting at businesses along corridors in hotspot areas. The Community Safety program will also conduct meetings with residents and police and increase positive interaction with the Youngstown Police Department.
