Mexico. Although the incidence of crime in the central area of the state of Veracruz, more precisely, Córdoba, has decreased according to figures from the Deputy Attorney General's Office of the central area of the state, the use of video surveillance equipment has been increasing.
Buildings such as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the museum of the city and some faculties of the Universidad Veracruzana, as well as private, as well as shops have chosen to install closed circuits, being victims of crime.
In addition to this, the municipal authorities have doubled the number of equipment of this type installed in the city, at the beginning 26 cameras were placed in different points, later another ten equipment were purchased and in the coming days more devices with resources from the Subsemun will be acquired.
This action is endorsed by the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), says the vice president of the agency that they are totally in agreement with the acquisition of more equipment because they are a successful prevention system to avoid robberies to shops, although he did emphasize, they are beneficial when they are well used, that is, their management is transparent.
