Govt discusses roll-out of CCTV camera systems
KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Government yesterday discussed plans to roll out a national CCTV camera system at major traffic intersections and other strategic public areas.
The discussion took place in a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) to review the provisions of the anti-crime thrust officially named the Law Reform (Zones of Special Operation) (Special Security and Community Development Measures) Act.
The NSC also agreed that the programme would also include motor vehicle license recognition software, as recommended in the National Security Policy. The Cabinet is to review the framework when completed in a few weeks, the Office of the Prime Minister said.
The NSC meeting, which was chaired by Prime Minister Andrew Holness, was discussing accountability framework for the Jamaica Defence Force and the Jamaica Constabulary Force in Special Zones of Operation.
