      Details     22 October 2012           ![alt](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/stories/VDS/Noticias/500-camaras-de-seguridad-son-instaladas-en-penales.jpg)*Puerto Rico.* The Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (DCR) announced the acquisition of a system of 500 cameras controlled from the central administration. The Criminal Operational Technology System (STOP), operated by a group of 11 people, maintains permanent surveillance of different places in the Bayamón correctional complex, where this first phase began.

"Before STOP, each prison complex controlled its surveillance system independently and the administration had no control over this information. Now, all institutions will be monitored in real time from dcR headquarters and the information collected is controlled by us and stored on high-powered servers.

In this way, we will be able to resort to it to prevent situations such as riots and brawls, as material for analysis and investigation and as evidence in administrative and judicial processes," said DCR Secretary Jesús González Cruz.

The secretary said that the system has been operating for about a month, a period in which they have intervened in different cases of smuggling, such as drugs or cell phones.
