Mexico. The video surveillance system of the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Guadalajara does not have any presence in the South of the municipality, nor in the East, as warned by its owner, Carlos Mercado Casillas, during his appearance before the Public Finance Commission of the City Council of this town.
In a dialogue with the councilor of the PAN fraction, María Cristina Solórzano Márquez, the Secretary of Security acknowledged that both District 7 "Cruz del Sur", and 6 "Tetlán", are blind spots for the Center for Communication and Electronic Observation (Cecoe), from which the 151 video cameras that the municipal authority currently has over the city are monitored.
Mayor and secretary agreed on the need to correct this lack, since both the South and the East are areas considered with a high criminal dynamic, they said. The alternative offered by Mercado Casillas is to present a new project for approval within the Subsidy for Municipal Public Security (Subsemun), granted by the Federation, with a view to obtaining another 49 cameras for these spaces in the city.
