Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D) visited North Lauderdale City Hall last Monday to present a historic $750,000 federal check, marking the city’s first-ever congressional appropriation. The funds will be used to install a license plate reader surveillance system, a technology that will enhance safety for the city’s 44,000 residents. The system will provide real-time information to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, aiding investigations and ensuring swift response to criminal activity. Cherfilus-McCormick emphasized the importance of community safety and commitment, stating that the project is a step forward for North Lauderdale. The city joins other Broward County municipalities, such as Coral Springs and Margate, in utilizing license plate readers to improve public safety.
