Andrew Holness Highlights Government’s Investments in Advanced Security Systems

Kingston, Jamaica – Prime Minister Andrew Holness has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to improving Jamaica’s security infrastructure through significant investments in advanced systems such as Jamaica Eye and the C5 Command Centre. In a recent announcement, Holness outlined how these technologies aim to enhance the nation’s ability to combat crime and ensure safer communities.

At the core of this initiative is a robust surveillance system powered by Jamaica Eye, a nationwide network of cameras that monitor public spaces. These feeds are connected to the newly established C5 Command Centre, a centralized intelligence hub where data from the cameras will be analyzed in real-time to guide police operations effectively.

To support the seamless integration of this system, the government is also prioritizing the expansion of broadband connectivity across the island. This enhanced digital infrastructure will enable uninterrupted transmission of footage from Jamaica Eye to the C5, ensuring rapid response capabilities.
