Beloit Police are finding success by taking a little advice from their neighbors to the south.

Chief Andre Sayles says intersection traffic cameras have proven to be a valuable resource.

Sayles when a violent crime occurs and that person travels through an intersection with a camera, officers are able to review the footage to get a vehicle description and license plate number.

Sayles says they are not used to catch speeders or monitor for other traffic infractions.

Sayles says using a combination of budget allocations, donations, and grants, he hopes to have a camera at every major intersection in Beloit in the next two to three years.
