Ypsilanti City Council won't be considering the issue of surveillance cameras in public places - at least not for now.
City Manager Ralph Lange asked council whether they'd like him to start working on a policy that would cover cameras in areas where crime has been a concern, like along LeForge Road.
The cameras would supplement surveillance equipment being installed by apartment complexes in the area.
Mayor Paul Schreiber and council member Pete Murdock said they were skeptical of the effectiveness of cameras in fighting crime.
