Deterring and Detecting Crime with CCTV say Dr. Emily Gail Dill

During our ongoing canvassing on the doorsteps, we have listened to your concerns. As such, your Government has taken action on these issues.

In the 2021 Throne Speech, the Government committed to enhancing CCTV. We have kept our promise to upgrade the island’s CCTV and this investment will undoubtedly enhance security throughout our island, making it a safer place for everyone.

The Progressive Labour Party government has partnered with Digicel to install a comprehensive network of CCTV cameras island-wide within the next 25 weeks. This will include 250 cameras to deter and detect the crime in our community. This will more than triple the amount of cameras presently in use.

The CCTV Network will have a soft rollout over the Cup Match holiday and will be fully operational before the Christmas holiday period. This upgrade in technology will greatly enhance
the BPS’s ability to monitor and respond to potential threats to the community, while significantly boosting their investigative capabilities. Additional capabilities will be added to the
system in the future such as speed detection, to assist in making our roads safer.

Our Minister of National Security Michael Weeks said in a recent press conference, “I have a message to the public. This CCTV system, once we have it implemented, is going to increase the
feeling of safety and security. So for those who are engaged in untoward behavior – you’d better beware”.

The government will eagerly and wholeheartedly invest in the new CCTV Network as a vital component of our unwavering commitment of the Ministry of National Security to fulfill the mission of “Working together to keep you safe.
