Now the objective of the Sspm is to have 1,500 cameras operating in the city which is expected to be achieved in the short term by increasing the number of connected devices weekly, as revealed by José Fernando Sánchez González, title of the Sspcm. "We want to have -a camera- in each quadrant of the city," said the director.
