With the presence of Mayor Francisco Azcué, the Security Camera and Community Alarm System of the Universidad neighborhood was officially inaugurated, an action that was made possible through the Undersecretariat of Development and Entrepreneurship, Citizen Participation, and the residents themselves, who actively participated in the arrangements and the installation of the devices.
The inaugurated system includes video surveillance cameras and a community alarm system, with the objective of strengthening territorial control, crime prevention, and rapid response to emergencies.
The action takes place within the framework of a public policy that focuses on joint work and proximity to the citizenry. The objective is to promote safe, participatory, and organized spaces, reinforcing the bond between the State and neighborhood communities.
On the occasion, Azcué highlighted that this type of action encourages citizen participation: “We had a meeting with residents who want to improve their neighborhood, and here we are working together with them,” indicating that 9 cameras and 9 alarms with their respective controls were installed.
Appealing to the necessary care, Azcué stated that the municipality “has a part of the responsibility, it has to do what corresponds to it, and now the residents must also fulfill their role as citizens.”
The Director of Citizen Participation, José Vedoya, highlighted the commitment and responsibility of the residents when using the resource, in a “process that took around five months and that today can be realized,” recalling that it was they who chose to have this system, just as has been done in other neighborhoods of Concordia.
For his part, Commissioner Pedro Cepeda, of the Fourth Police Station, stressed that the action “implies a fundamental task in terms of security, it is an important help for us because having a neighborhood alert, with a camera monitoring system, can also deter what would be the crime itself. This will help a lot in the joint work with all the personnel.”
From the Operational Unit of the Directorate of Prevention and Security, Martín Amiano insisted that “this began with an administrative case file via a note from residents, and that is why we are here today installing the cameras and neighborhood alarms,” which will not only serve to “collaborate with the Justice system if necessary, but also bring peace of mind to the inhabitants of the area.”
The Secretary of Government, Luciano Dell´Olio, the Undersecretary of Development and Entrepreneurship Gabriel Enguelberg, Enrique Lobelos, Director of Neighborhood Commissions, and the territorial representative Angel Schvint participated.
