“Hotspot” surveillance systems approved by local government.

Javea town council has taken the first step towards the implementation of a video surveillance system, helping local police to fight crime in the municipality.

The video surveillance project, which will focus on urbanisations and will be carried out in phases until all systems are completed.

Both the mayor, Rosa Cardonaand Councilor for Citizen SecurityJuan Ortolá, stressed that “one of the main concerns of the government team, is to strengthen the means to improve citizen security.” And for this reason, this video surveillance system is a tool that will allow the Local Police to reinforce these means, especially in suburban areas and urbanisations that are “hot spots for crime”, especially home robberies. .

In this way, if necessary, the Local Police and the Civil Guard will have “access to all people and vehicles entering and leaving the town. They pointed out that once the credit modification comes into force, the necessary impetus will be given for this project to become a reality as soon as possible and “our town will become increasingly safer.”

In last week’s plenary session, a credit modification of 7,6 million euros was approved, specifying 275.000 euros to start the video surveillance project.
