The upgrade of the Police surveillance equipment is expected to be completed in the near future, as the tender for the supply of cameras has ended.
These are about 400 24-hour cameras to be installed on patrol cars, as well as 2,000 “wearable” cameras, i.e. integrated into the uniforms of police officers, which will be able to record at will and transmit live images to the operations centre using telecommunications networks.

Our team was represented by Eleftherios Chelioudakis
