Cops to monitor crime hotspots via CCTVs

JOHOR BARU: Fighting crime here will receive a major boost from next month when closed-circuit TVs (CCTVs) are installed at crime "hotspots."

Datuk Bandar Datuk Wahid Dahlan said the council has gotten a supplier to install the CCTVs for RM500,000 at six critical locations.

They would be installed in Jalan Wong Ah Fook (City Square), Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Datuk Sulaiman (Holiday Plaza) and Jalan Maju (near Plaza Pelangi).

"We are not putting the plan on hold as it is crucial in helping to reduce crime, boost public safety and deter snatch thefts. "The council hopes that the installation of closed-circuit televisions in these areas will help prevent negative activities from taking place.

"It is our aim to make Johor Baru a crime-free city and a safe place for people to reside," he said yesterday.

Wahid said the council would set up two monitoring and surveillance centres, which would be housed at the Johor police traffic office and at Menara Tabung Haji.

He said there were also plans to install CCTVs at other areas namely Plaza Angsana, Jalan Meldrum, Lien Hoe Complex, Jalan Trus and the Larkin Bus Terminal.

He said the installation of CCTVs in these areas is expected by the end of the year.
