The newest addition to the DePaul public safety department is a blue-light camera, installed above the traffic light on the northwest corner of Fullerton and Sheffield Avenues.
The camera was installed by the Chicago Police Department, said Jim Marino, Public Safety's director for emergency management, "mainly to handle crime on the CTA," with the Red, Brown, and Purple lines being right there at the Fullerton station.
In addition to tracking CTA crime, the camera also helps Public Safety track DePaul crime. It extends north and west from its location, and east up until the "el" tracks, so there is a wide range of surveillance images the Public Safety office can capture.
So, next time you're on the corner of Fullerton and Sheffield, smile - you're on camera!
