The governing group fulfils a commitment made during the current term of office and equips the security forces with new tools to improve their response capacity
Pájara Town Council is making progress in improving security in the municipality with the installation of 52 road safety cameras and number plate readers, which will be distributed at various strategic points across the municipal road network.
The mayor of Pájara, Alejandro Jorge, travelled to Costa Calma together with the Councillor for Security and Emergencies, Raimundo Dacosta, and the first deputy mayor, Alexis Alonso, to check on the progress of the works being carried out by the Department of Security and Emergencies, headed by Dacosta, in collaboration with the Council’s New Technologies Area.
The project involves both the installation of the road surveillance and number plate reading devices and the commissioning of the screens that will allow information to be centralised at the control centre.
The Councillor for Security and Emergencies, Raimundo Dacosta, expressed his satisfaction at the rollout of a measure that formed part of the commitments made by the governing group during the current term of office. “This installation marks a new step forward, and in the coming months we will continue to announce further measures aimed at improving security in Pájara,” he said.
For his part, the first deputy mayor, Alexis Alonso, stressed that “with this initiative, Pájara now has new tools to strengthen security and respond to a demand from residents. These devices will also be an important support for the work carried out by the Local Police and the Civil Guard and, shortly, the Canary Islands Police.”
The mayor of Pájara, Alejandro Jorge, said that “this installation sends a clear message to anyone arriving in the municipality with the intention of breaching community rules or committing an offence.” “Entry and exit points will now have systems in place that will provide security forces with useful information when needed, as they will have access not only to images but also to vehicle information that could prove relevant to their investigations,” he stated.
This project has been made possible thanks to the support of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura’s Department of Security and Emergencies and joint work with Pájara Town Council’s Department of New Technologies, headed by Salah Chehaib. This initiative will make it possible to continue incorporating technological resources to improve coordination and response capacity in the event of possible incidents in the municipality.
