The program has been extended through June 2024.
Attorney General Dave Yost said that extending the program will allow for more data to be collected and for additional feedback.
TALEN works by utilizing both public and private video feeds already present in the communities, the release states.
Personal doorbell cameras can be added to the network with permission from residents in the pilot area.
