Speaking on Monday at the Higher Institute of Police and Criminal Sciences 'General - Osvaldo de Jesus Serra Van-Dúnem', as part of the opening of the entity's festivities, the official explained that "the city of Luanda will have, in the coming days, more than 1300 new video surveillance cameras, to reinforce the maintenance of order and guarantee public safety in the country's capital city".
Quoted in a statement from the National Police, to which VerAngola had access, José Agostinho Paulo said that the initiative is part of the Second Phase of Public Security Innovation Project.
He also assured that for this action, "work is proceeding normally, with a circumstantial increase of more than 1300 video surveillance cameras expected to cover the city of Luanda".
The director also said that the National Police, through the Telecommunications and Information Technology Directorate (DTTI) - which will celebrate its 29th anniversary next month - "has defined two main projects for the five-year period 2022-2027, namely PROMETTI and the Second Phase of the Public Security Innovation Project, which consist of disseminating police information through institutional channels".
The official explained that with PROMETTI, the private network of the Angolan National Police (PNA) was completed, as well as the interconnection of the general command with the central bodies and provincial commands, among others.
"With PROMETTI, the PNA's private network was completed and the interconnection of the general command to the central bodies and provincial commands, via the MPLS network, as well as the development of the integrated police information and services platform - PIIS, which integrates several systems, of which the integrated management system is in effective production this year and, likewise, the processing of the tetra network circuit", he said, quoted in the statement.
José Agostinho Paulo also said that, after 28 years of existence, the PNA's DTTI has been investing "in the process of digital transformation within a strategy", aiming to modernize services and "optimize resources, with the implementation of projects related to technological solutions and information security policies, within the scope of combating crime and guaranteeing public safety".
The commissioner added: "With the technological advances imposed by globalisation, it is a tough challenge for the PNA to constantly seek innovative technological solutions, in order to adapt them to the aims of the noble police mission and transform them into the main vehicle for processing information in compliance with the constitutional imperative, to guarantee road safety, protection and surveillance of land, sea and river borders, aiming to ensure the normal functioning of democratic institutions, as well as the protection and security of citizens and their assets".
The official also called on participants to use digital platforms correctly, as well as to be guided by the "protection of sensitive data, to counter cyber threats and ensure a safe corporate environment".
