Municipal administration Cynthia Viteri reported 16,425 surveillance cameras from the Corporation for Citizen Security (CSCG) and ECU911 in Guayaquil.
The mayor of this city, Aquiles Alvarez, who recognized the safety of the residents of Guayaquil as his concern, appointed Andrés Sandoval as the executive director of the Corporation for Citizen Security on May 19.
How to make better use of the 16,000 cameras installed in Guayaquil? Citizens make suggestions for better use
The burden on the new official is great, but according to the available data, he has made progress in the procurement of cameras with artificial intelligence. The challenge is that technological tools are more useful in the mission of providing security to citizens, Andrés Sandoval said on his social networks that the actions of his administration will be “based on the analysis of information and technological innovation.” This allows us to assume that the investment in the available equipment will not fall on deaf ears, since Guayaquil is among the cities with the most video surveillance cameras per person in the world, according to international parameters and information provided by the administration of Cynthia Viteri.
Yesterday, Aquiles Alvarez signed an inter-institutional agreement with the Ministry of Interior to strengthen security actions. Among the commitments, it was established that the Corporation for Citizen Security of Guayaquil will provide the National Police with video surveillance data and emergency calls to focus the activities of the uniformed on fighting and preventing crime.
Face-registration cameras and more security personnel are among the measures in hospitals against attacks in Guayaquil
Logically, the delivery of this information should be done from the moment the cameras are installed. If this has not happened, it is a good first step for the benefit of the peace of citizens in which all state entities must be added.
If there are video surveillance cameras in the city, they must be in the service of the community and justice. Investments are not made by politicians, but by their voters. (OR)
