Bolivia. The authorities in charge of ensuring the security of Pope Francis during his stay in Santa Cruz, inform that the entourage will be monitored at all times by a group of security cameras that are located throughout the route from the arrival at the Viru Viru airport, to the house of Cardinal Julio and in the different sections until reaching the altar of the mass and the route they will follow to visit the prison of Palmasola.
The government guaranteed helicopters and special groups of the police and army, to provide security and rule out any incidents.
The entourage of Pope Francis, which arrives on July 8 at 9:15 p.m. in Santa Cruz, will be monitored by surveillance cameras that in some cases are already installed and others that have been added to increase levels of care. The data was provided by sources close to the police command, which heads the entire security group, which has been divided into a ring, as reported by Defense Minister Reymi Ferreira two weeks ago. The group closest to the Pope is made up of the guards who arrive with the Pontiff from the Vatican, followed by members of the police, including elite groups and infiltrated as a civilian, the municipal guard of the city of Santa Cruz and soldiers of the Bolivian Army.
The report reveals that from Viru Viru to the cardinal's house there are 22 cameras and 15 in the area of Christ the Redeemer, where the main event of the visit will be concentrated. 29 cameras from the cardinal's house to the Don Bosco coliseum and 16 security teams that exist inside the Palmasola Prison. To these are added more than 150 cameras distributed in strategic areas and others that have been implemented especially for the arrival of the first authority of the Catholic Church.
