A safer Quartu thanks to the new electronic eyes positioned in different areas of the city.
Six more cameras, in addition to the sixteen already active throughout the territory, to curb break-ins and episodes of petty crime, but also a valid aid in the reconstruction of road accidents. With real-time images that will be monitored day and night in the operations room set up in the headquarters of the Local Police: a mosaic of images that immortalizes what happens from Margine Rosso to Viale Marconi, passing through Viale Colombo.
The system was presented today at the “home” of the city police. The heads of the Municipality were present - promoter and financier of the network of cameras - along with representatives of the city police forces, who contributed to the implementation of video surveillance. “In previous years we had already started an initiative that would allow us to observe what happens in the city,” emphasizes Mayor Graziano Milia. “We have many critical issues: traffic, security, waste abandonment. With these technological tools,” he adds, “we hope to obtain good results and facilitate the work of the police forces, but using these 'artificial eyes' is not a victory for society,” he says, “but a defeat, because a society that works well does not need to have micro-spies scattered throughout the city. The appeal we make,” he concludes, “is to work hard on the education front, especially with the youngest.”
The camera map starts from the Margine Rosso roundabout, then continues in the roundabout between Poetto and the Viale Colombo bridge, at the intersection with Via San Benedetto, in Piazza Santa Maria, in the roundabout between Viale Colombo and Via Marconi, and in front of the shopping center.
“The entry and exit points of the city are the most sensitive, but also the most useful for understanding certain dynamics in the territory,” explains Deputy Mayor Tore Sanna, who followed the project step by step, “born at the instigation of the Prefecture of Cagliari and the police force.” Also present were the commander of the Quartu Carabinieri station, Michele Cerri, the deputy commander of the local police Antonello Angioni, and the councilor for Roads Elisabetta Atzori.
