“I think that with this the lethality of the police operations will fall”declared the governor of Rio de Janeiro, Claudio Castro.
The government rented 21,500 cameras for 30 months to a company from which the equipment maintenance service was contracted.
After Copacabana, the program will begin to spread to other police units.
Through the new system, with cameras that will operate for 12 hours without interruption, more “transparency” will be guaranteed to police activity and “protection to the people who are the object of an operation,” Castro said on Monday.
The measure was announced by the Government after Congressman Carlos Minc presented a project for the placement of cameras in order to “mitigate the high lethality” of the Rio police.
Minc cited the “violence” of the Special Operations Battalion of the Militarized Police carried out in a favela of the Complexo de Salgueiro, where last month 9 residents died whose bodies were left in a mangrove.
This Tuesday the reconstruction of the events in which 9 residents and a police officer were killed was carried out in the Salgueiro neighborhood.
Starting at 7:20 today, preparations began for members of the Public Ministry to tour the area where the arrival of three investigated policemen was awaited.
