A network of 131 Brisbane City Council CitySafe cameras have captured 23 000 incidents last financial year.
The CCTV cameras, installed in the CBD and Fortitude Valley, captured 2 100 people identified as disorderly, 740 medical emergencies, 42 reports of vandalism, 31 robberies and 8 assaults.
Queensland Police Service Chief Superintendent Cameron Harsley said the cameras allow police to respond quickly to major incidents and react early enough to stop some incidents occurring.
