A wireless link has been set up between the Demerara Harbour Bridge and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Guyana Police Force and it is expected to aid the fight against crime and the monitoring of traffic.

The project, into which the Public Infrastructure Ministry invested approximately $3M, will allow police to have access to live feeds from the harbour bridge’s cameras.

“It might appear to be very simple but it is very, very significant for us…,” Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud
