Nongprue Municipality has installed 75 CCTVs in 32 spots so far this year, and plans are afoot to install 60 more in 29 different areas using a 10 million baht budget.
The official opening for the CCTV Control Center in the Nongprue Municipality Building was held Sept. 11, presided over by Banglamung District Chief Amnart Charoensri and Mayor Mai Chaiyanit.
Officials deemed the cameras necessary because the area is rapidly growing as a bedroom community for city workers, and as such, many apartments and housing estates are popping up. ince Nongprue’s police department is not large enough at the moment, the cameras are needed to help deter and solve crime, monitor traffic and instill confidence in the area’s new and existing residents.
