The CCTV cameras erected around the city have helped police crack several cases, and the installation of monitors at CID Headquarters, Eve Leary, will even enable ranks to respond before a crime is committed.
This was revealed yesterday by a senior police official, who is optimistic that crime-solving success will increase significantly when police have immediate access to CCTV footage.
At least six monitors are to be installed at CID Headquarters, Eve Leary by Monday. They are to be linked to the CCTV cameras, which are monitored and archived by staff at the National Intelligence Centre. At present, police have to contact staff there to access this footage.
Declining to identify specific cases, the official said that several matters are at present before the courts in which the CCTV images enabled police to identify suspects.
The official said that the cameras are providing “a lot of wonderful images, down to the number plates on vehicles,” while police have the technology to enhance images that are
recorded at night.
With ranks being able to view the footage in “real time”, by Monday, police will be able to monitor suspicious activity and respond even before a crime is committed.
He stressed that police will also need to put systems in place to ensure there is quick response when a crime is recorded.
The police source was responding to queries about the effectiveness of the cameras, given the fact that several brazen crimes, including execution-style killings have occurred recently with very few cases being solved.
Technicians are installing at least six CCTV monitors at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, Eve Leary.
The monitors to be manned by police ranks, will be linked to the CCTV camera ‘feed’ at the National Intelligence Centre, located in the Castellani House compound.
This development comes four months after Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee revealed that the Defence Board had approved the establishment of ‘a direct feed’ from the CCTV system to Eve Leary.
