BAGUIO CITY – The
city council will pass an ordinance making it mandatory for establishments in
the city to install closed circuit television (CCTV) for security purposes.
Mayor
Mauricio Domogan said CCTVs have been proven to be an effective deterrent to
crime and a great help to police in identifying perpetrators.
Domogan
pointed out that although many establishments in the central business district
(CBD) already have security cameras, those outside the CBD still have to
install them.
Several of
the city’s overpasses also have CCTVs but more are needed in strategic areas.
He said that
security guards in business establishments should continue to coordinate with
and assist the police.
The mayor
stressed that maintaining the city’s peace and order situation and the security
of its residents and visitors remain to be top priorities of the local
government.
