Mexico. Only about 50% of the city's surveillance cameras are operating, said municipal public security secretary Cesar Munoz Morales, who said only about 120 devices are fit to provide the service.
The police chief, who did not provide the exact number of video cameras there are, however, mentioned that the average is 250 equipment installed in the last 10 years.
He indicated that currently the monitoring cameras of the Emergency and Immediate Response Center (CERI) 066 are repaired by specialized personnel.
Muñoz Morales said that the repair of the CERI equipment is part of the security project of the State Government that contemplates the installation and operation of up to 400 cameras, only in this city.
The images will be shared between the C-4 complex of the State Government and the Immediate Response Center (CERI) 066, whose operation will also be in charge of the State. It is currently administered by the Federation.
On the other hand, it transpired that the repair and installation of the communication equipment is part of the Strategic Telecommunications Network of Chihuahua, a project in charge of the Office against Narcos and Terrorism (CNTPO, for its acronym in English).
Chihuahua is the first state to receive this support as part of support for the fight against drug trafficking in Mexico.
The U.S. government will invest US$4.2 million to acquire the equipment and according to the call published on March 27 on the U.S. government's procurement portal, it is already looking for contractors to install and configure them on existing and new sites.
