Overview
- The Provincial Municipality of Piura reported the S/10 million modernization is over 90% complete as of Wednesday, and officials say remaining administrative and budgetary steps must be finished to close the project.
- Eighty‑three new cameras will be installed and interconnected so Piura will have 133 operational units supervised from the newer Fortaleza control center.
- New equipment includes speaker capability and integration with 20 panic buttons placed at strategic locations to trigger immediate alerts and automatic tracking by nearby cameras.
- The program funds repair work on the older Paraíso base and on city connectivity so existing cameras can be rehabilitated and rejoined to the monitoring network.
- Municipal leaders plan technical and operational coordination with the districts of Castilla and Veintiséis de Octubre to form a more interconnected metropolitan surveillance scheme that aims to speed patrol response and improve criminal investigations.
