Recent upgrades at Stabroek Market, including the installation of new cameras and monitoring screens, are receiving positive feedback from vendors and shoppers.
This development is part of a broader government initiative aimed at improving crime surveillance and enhancing safety in the area.
The new security system features a large screen on Lombard Street, known as Stabroek Square, which displays live feeds from various cameras positioned throughout the market.
This upgrade is designed to improve surveillance and deter criminal activities.
Vendors at the market have expressed their approval of the new measures. They appreciate the added security and believe it will help reduce theft and other criminal activities.
One vendor highlighted that the cameras are effective in catching those who engage in pickpocketing and other offenses, especially during busy times like Christmas.
Another vendor praised the cameras for their role in monitoring the area and helping to prevent damage and theft.
In addition to the camera installations, a second police outpost has been established as part of President Irfaan Ali’s crime prevention initiative.
This outpost aims to bolster the police’s presence and effectiveness in the market area.
Overall, the enhancements are seen as a significant step towards increasing security and maintaining order at Stabroek Market.
