"With the creation of this center, the feeling of security brought or created some contribution in what has to do with the visibility that our cameras (...) transmit to the intervention of situations that occur on the public highway", said Daniel Félix, director of CISP Benguela, cited by TPA.
In turn, Commissioner Aristofanes dos Santos, a delegate from the Ministry of Interior in Benguela, admitted that the CISP "does not replace police work", but "complements" police actions.
"CISP does not replace the traditional police work, it is just an upgrade, it is just something that complements our day-to-day action and, therefore, all the organs of the States that intervene in the public security system and even national security," he said.
Benguela's CISP was the second center to be implemented in the country, after the first was installed in the capital.
The Benguela center is supported by more than 200 technicians. It includes a command and control room, a video surveillance room and its technological tools simplify the exchange of information between the country's security bodies.
According to TPA, this center comprises services from the Ministry of Interior, Armed Forces, police, civil protection, fire and medical emergencies.
