A Center for Supervisory Response has begun operating in Temirtau, allowing the prosecutor's office to conduct round-the-clock surveillance of the city and promptly respond to offenses, reports infohub.kz.
A total of 1,575 cameras installed on streets, in parks, schools, kindergartens, medical facilities, and other sites have been connected to the center's unified video wall.
A separate focus is on monitoring the rights of individuals held in temporary detention facilities. Thanks to remote monitoring, eight people have already been released from unlawful detention.
In addition, a digital supervision system has been integrated into the center. Duty prosecutors conduct round-the-clock monitoring, and information about detected violations can be processed without dispatching personnel to the scene.
As a result of the measures taken, the overall crime rate in the city has decreased by 28%, the number of grave crimes has dropped by 50%, and crimes committed by minors have fallen by 87%.
The opening of the center was attended by Ilyas Ispanov, Head of the Financial Department of the Prosecutor General's Office; Akymzhan Umbitalin, Deputy Head of the Service; Murat Tleuberdiyev, Prosecutor of Karaganda Region; and representatives of city government bodies.
Earlier it was reported that ahead of the new school year, 62 life-size cutouts of schoolchildren were installed near schools and pedestrian crossings in Temirtau. The project was implemented by Qarmet together with the city prosecutor's office. The figures were placed near educational institutions and along school routes, including next to crossings and road signs. Some of the structures are equipped with reflective elements for better visibility in the dark.
