At the beginning of May, the prestigious British newspaper The Guardian published a news story in which it stated that, according to the opinion of representatives of the Police of that country, the large investment that the United Kingdom government makes every year in CCTV systems is not yielding the expected results in terms of capturing suspects. and its subsequent judicialization.The statistics shared by the police offices are, so to speak, depressing and state that only 3% of crimes have been solved with the help of cameras.
It is worth saying that what is "discovered" by the British authorities can happen in any region of the world and such a concern would be much more serious in a region like Latin America, where the criminal average may be higher than the European one, for example. It is also important to note that the dissatisfaction of the British authorities was directly linked to two key errors that can be made when using electronic security: expecting more than can be expected from an electronic system and not really knowing how to exploit the advantages of these to the fullest.
To change the aforementioned trends, British officials began to suggest the implementation of several measures that can raise the aforementioned figures and generate a greater return on investment.
As a first step the British were thinking of developing a new image database which is expected to use technology developed by the sports advertising industry to track and identify offenders. Consideration was also given to posting images on the Internet of suspects in robberies, robberies and rapes; another measure is the development of a national database of CCTV systems, incorporating images of convicted and unidentified suspects. As can be deduced, the measures are designed to complement electronic systems.
It is important to make it clear that security systems are installed as a preventive – deterrent measure (the day a camera gets off its mount and captures a criminal they warn me to go cover the fact).
