Tulum, Q.R. — The SSPyPC of Tulum says 1,100 additional cameras will soon be connected to the municipality’s system. The additional cameras are the result of signed agreements with local businesses to strengthen security.
The head of the Tulum SSPyPC (Secretariat of Public Security and Citizen Protection) Edgar Aguilar Rico, said he recently signed the agreement that will add 1,100 security cameras to their system.
According to Aguilar Rico, there are currently 340 security cameras connected to the municipal C-2 and C5 (Command, Control, Communications, Computing, and Intelligence Centre) systems.
The additional connections will strengthen security both in the town of Tulum and in the surrounding municipal communities.
He said the additional cameras are part of an agreement signed with the business sector to mitigate criminal activity and continue the downward trend in crime rates.
The large-scale agreement was made after letters were issued to businesses by the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública y Protección Ciudadana de Tulum (SSPyPC) for the integration of cameras into the municipal security system.
Aguilar Rico reported that over 90 percent of business contacted agreed, which allows authorities to continue making progress in the fight against crime.
“I personally signed the agreement that will see 1,100 more cameras linked to our C-2 that are directly related to businesses,” he said. The additional connections, he explained, will provide greater coverage with approximately 1,400 connected cameras around the municipality working every day.
“We want more cameras so we can monitor situations and continue to see Tulum’s crime rates decline as they have been doing,” he said.
