Security camera implementation at JTVCC completed ahead of schedule

SMYRNA, Del. – The Delaware Department of Correction (DOC) announced on Monday that it has completed the security camera implementation at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna.

With assistance from the Governor and members of the General Assembly, $2.5 Million was designated for the project, which began back in October of 2017.

The project, originally slated for a two-year time frame, was completed in just 14 months. 714 security cameras have been installed, as well as supporting infrastructure and viewing stations. The addition of security cameras and viewing stations increases the safety and security of staff, as well as inmates, housed at JTVCC.

“The safety of staff and inmates is a priority at all DOC facilities. Without talented IT professionals and support from Governor Carney and the legislature, this project would not have been possible. We could not be more thankful for their advocacy on behalf of our DOC family,” said Commissioner Perry Phelps.
