The Minister of the Interior, Vicente Tiburciomet with the mayors of Metropolitan Lima and Lima Provinces to coordinate the integration of the municipalities’ security cameras into the National Video Surveillance System with Artificial Intelligence of the National Police of Peru.
During the meeting, held at the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior (Mininter), the head of the sector highlighted that the system will have more than 3,200 security cameras installed in areas with a high incidence of crime, which will be connected to 107 police stations nationwide. These units will allow facial recognition of criminals and automatic detection of vehicles with arrest warrants.

“We are working jointly with local governments. I thank the mayors present. We have to be together, the country needs us,” he stated.
