NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Amid growing concern over the economic toll of crime, successive governments have pumped millions into technology to bolster law enforcement’s efforts.

Officer in charge of information and technology Assistant Commissioner of Police Zhivago Dames gave a breakdown of how money is being spent to beef up the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s resources.

As he tells us, there’s also a combination of short-range and medium-range drones would serve to merge the four physical dimensions of sea, land, air and space.

The information collected in real-time would aid in increased detection, tracking and apprehension capabilities, and the monitoring of individuals in custody for law enforcement agencies, something Dames says has been working great for police.

There are currently over two hundred CCTV installed through the capital.

Even with all these tools in place, ACP Dames says the organization is looking to expand there arsenal shortly.
