Mexico. Next July, the video surveillance camera system for the area of the industrial parks of the city of Toluca will begin to operate, said Jorge Osorio, president of the Exportec Industrial Association.
He commented that this system had an investment of 700 thousand pesos (about US $ 55 thousand) only for the acquisition of the equipment and requires a similar annual figure for its management.
He said that the cameras are only those of the industrial park and the second part of the project that contemplates the boulevard and surrounding avenues where they register from assaults to rapes is missing.
"It's not about arresting criminals, but about preventing. What we seek with this system is to inhibit the problem, that there is no longer the presence of criminals. Because the measures we have implemented go more towards the arrest of the assailants than to scare them away," he said.
He explained that the second phase covers the boulevard where they could invest up to one and a half million pesos (about US $ 115 thousand), also between the training of the personnel who manage the system, and their placement.
"We can't hire a single person to handle the 15 cameras or more; it is also a scheme that will be connected with the Municipal Police Directorate and the Secretariat of Citizen Security, we are not only planning to be connected to each other, but with a good program of protection of the area. "
He recalled that it is a region in which events are permanent, and that they have already tried with other security proposals, but they worked little and it is to this new mechanism that they bet on a better condition.
