The police force will now have a direct feed from Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras installed in the city following approval by the Defence Board.
This was disclosed yesterday by Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee. He told a gathering of civil society and the media at the Police Training Centre, Eve Leary that as a member of the Defence Board, the ministry had constantly supported the view that CCTV cameras in the city should be used on a real- time basis to fight crime.
In furtherance of this, he said that the Defence Board has approved the setting up of a direct feed to the Headquarters of the police force at Eve Leary. Since their installation several years ago, critics have queried the usefulness of these cameras as no information has been forthcoming
