CCTV surveillance

This project came about after numerous incidents of day light robbery, and other criminal activities as well as domestic violence matters, were reported to the 7mile police.

7mile Police who are stationed at the Jackson’s Airport will be monitoring the CCTV camera.

The project is a public-private partnership initiative between the NCD Metropolitan Police, Wintop Tech Limited, the PNG & Chinese Friendship Association, the National Capital District Commission (NCDC) and the Chinese Business community.

Metropolitan Superintendent Ben Turi issued an appeal yesterday after NCDC health inspectors toured the station.

The appeal came about when Turi was asked if there will be surveillance cameras in the holding cell building.

Turi said there is a need for that but unfortunately, they have limited funds.

He added that it is imperative for surveillance in the holding cells. This is so the daily movement of suspects, as well as police officers, can be monitored.
