Zambia police to go digital
Government plans to deploy surveillance cameras to improve crime prevention and detection.
The Zambian government plans to digitalise police operations to enhance crime prevention, detection, and national security. Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Clement Andeleki announced the initiative, which will involve installing surveillance cameras in public areas. These cameras are intended to enable the police to respond more effectively to criminal activities across the country.
Dr. Andeleki stated that the deployment of these cameras is a strategic move to strengthen the Zambia Police Service's capabilities. The aim is to create a more robust system for monitoring public spaces and gathering evidence. This digital transformation is expected to improve the overall efficiency of law enforcement in combating crime.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernise the police force and adapt to new technological approaches in security. The government believes this digital upgrade will significantly contribute to maintaining public order and safety throughout Zambia.
