Procurement of Public CCTV Camera System and Integration

The Portfolio of Internal and External Affairs invites the submission of tenders from interested eligible firms for a Public CCTV Camera System and Integration.

Project Scope: The Cayman Islands has witnessed a recent spike in violent crimes and it is believed that the implementation of a National CCTV Programme would be a valuable tool in both deterring re-offenders as well as to capture evidence for police investigations. The Portfolio of Internal and External Affairs will be spearheading this project with the assistance of a National CCTV Committee.

The purpose of the National CCTV Programme is to:

1) Reduce the fear of crime

2) Promote community safety

3) Stimulate continuing economic growth within the community

4) Encourage the use of public and commercial facilities

5) Assist in the reduction, prevention and detection of crime

6) Provide high quality evidence to be used by the Police, Immigration, and Customs to prosecute offenders

7) Monitor road traffic circulation and improve road safety

8) Protect property
