Calhoun and Ventura Blvd.
Cedros and Ventura Blvd.
Van Nuys Blvd and Ventura Blvd.
Milbank and Van Nuys Blvd.

WHEN:

The cameras were needed because some of the areas have been attractive to taggers and other locations have had break-ins.  The cameras will give LAPD an extra set of eyes and deter criminal activity in the area.  The cameras are a collaborative effort funded by the BID/Village at Sherman Oaks, Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council and the Office of Councilmember Jack Weiss.
