City Receives $963,000 for State-of-the-Art Security Cameras Last week, Congressman Pete Aguilar presented city officials with a symbolic check representing $963,000 that was part of the recently approved 2023-2024 Federal budget. The funds will help fund a new SBPD security camera system in downtown San Bernardino that will include data analytics that can be used by the Department to both monitor activity and assist with criminal investigations. San Bernardino has been notified that the Arbor Day Foundation has designated the city as a Tree City USA. Congratulations to City Arborist Matt McDonald and the team at Public Works for their work obtaining this designation.

Only about 3,600 of 19,500 cities in the U.S. have achieved this designation. San Bernardino Named a Tree City USA!
