MMC for Public Safety, Cllr. Dr. Mgcini Tshwaku, has officially unveiled the CCTV surveillance cameras installed at Finetown and at Ennerdale Ward 07, Region G. In the same program, the MMC also launched the Street Patrollers of Finetown and Ennerdale.

These surveillance cameras are part of the City’s response to fighting crime and lawlessness in the communities of Finetown and Ennerdale. The cameras have been strategically installed in crime hotspots to assist SAPS and JMPD with identifying perpetrators.

“The use of CCTV cameras and patrollers is one of our strategies, also known as smart policing. The CCTV footage will be linked to the Patrollers on the ground through an App that can be downloaded on any smart phone device and to the IIOC Command Centre, there will be a bigger rollout to all seven regions of Johannesburg in the coming months,” said MMC Dr. Tshwaku.
