Make the police feeds available to the public and sell ads to be overlayed, and interspersed. Allow the public to upload edited versions for people who don't want to slog through the boring bits, and sell ads with those as well. Based on the popularity of reality cop shows, the revenue could be enough to finance the whole project, the police department, and maybe the rest of the city's services as well.
While you're at it, please thoroughly annotate everything in detailed semantic markup, and provide an inference engine that can answer questions like "How can I get the search thrown out where they found the bodies in my trunk?"
