Othón P. Blanco, Quintana Roo — The C5 security command center in Quintana Roo now connects more than 10,500 video surveillance cameras across the state, according to Julio César Gómez, the state’s secretary of citizen security.
Gómez said the camera network is used for crime prevention, surveillance, emergency response, and monitoring potential criminal activity. He credited the technology with helping to cut crime rates by more than 60 percent, as well as aiding in the recovery of stolen vehicles and the identification of people suspected of involvement in crimes.
When the current state administration took office, C5 had access to only about 1,800 cameras, officials said. Since then, the network has been significantly expanded.
The state government added 2,908 cameras through public investment, and municipalities contributed another 1,800 cameras to the security network, according to the secretary.
More than 4,500 cameras installed at private businesses and properties have also been linked into the C5 system, further expanding coverage across Quintana Roo.
