ANGELES CITY — Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. will appropriate ₱100 million for the installation of additional CCTV cameras to address the blind spots throughout the city.
“I envision a city where children can walk every street safely and all of us can sleep soundly in the comfort of our own homes,” Lazatin said, during his inaugural speech on June 30, 2022 in Barangay Cutud. “Under our watch, we will exhaust every means to maintain the lowest crime rate in the city.”
This, Lazatin added, will also serve as a crime prevention tool and deterrent to criminals and people carrying out illegal activities.
In addition, the budget allotted for the command center will be augmented to further efficiently monitor the activities in all major roads.
Lazatin is also encouraging barangay officials and homeowners associations to complement this by installing cameras in all barangay roads and subdivisions in order to prevent small time akyat-bahay criminals from preying on innocent kababayans.
