National District Mayor David Collado initiated the placement of cameras and lighting in six city parks and squares. Claro telecom company is one of the sponsors of the program. Collado was at La Lira Park on Av. Abraham Lincoln on Monday, 14 October 2019 to mark the start of the new program. In addition, the city government is improving the lighting in the parks to enhance citizen security.
“It is the first time that a municipal government has implemented this type of measure. This responds to a vision of a different city, to get involved and create our control mechanisms as a contribution to citizen security,” said Collado. The program complements the surveillance systems already installed by private businesses and the central government under the 911 System.
“We have worked tirelessly to recover public spaces and places of recreation for the citizens. “We have done nothing if we renovate, illuminate and recreate these places, and the children, youth and adults who visit them cannot enjoy full freedom,” said the mayor.
