He noted that the center will have eight 55-inch monitors and three units of the National Police that will be in charge of monitoring the cameras that will be located at strategic points which are not revealed due to security reasons. Mayor Vásquez confirmed that the points where the cameras go were already selected in coordination with the security bodies, which are in charge of giving the key points for the security issue.

For his part, the head of the Chiriquí police zone, Cicinio Núñez, confirmed the information and pointed out that the monitoring center once installed will have a link with the National Police Control Center in Panama City (C05) and an APP of the institution will be put into operation which people can download on their cell phones and request help in case of emergency, so the authorities can know the actual place where the person with problems is.

Finally, the head of the National Police called for society in general to be guarantors of their own security with preventive measures and to denounce people who are engaged in illicit activities. https://m.panamaamerica.com.pa/provincias/en-boquete-inicia-instalacion-de-camaras-de-video-vigilancia-1136530?fbclid=IwAR33RmY9O3y-6LlAlvW9XOvZ9TDQFP-xQs931wBuQhJO-LGyWkl739IKMpc Edited June 10, 2019 by Keith Woolford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
