Hello Mayor, and City Council Members,
The city of Milpitas is in the process of giving residents free wireless doorbell cameras to deter crime and help police gather video evidence, according to a report by The Milpitas Beat.
The Milpitas City Council allocated $60,000 for the program to distribute one per household by the Milpitas Police Department, on a first-come, first-served basis.
The City Council unanimously approved the program on March 17, 2026.
Officials selected a plan giving residents free cameras with no required subscription and at least 90 days of data storage.
And I quote Council Member Evely Chua: "Public safety is my top priority, and this door camera initiative is about strengthening crime prevention right where it matters most - at home. By equipping residents with tools and partnering closely with the Militas Police Department, we're building a stronger connection between our community and law enforcement to help deter crime and protect our neighborhoods".

And now if you our City Council Members feel the same about our safety as Milpitas does about theirs, you should approve a similar program.
Thank You,
Wayne M. Rayburn
