Soon 180 cameras in Knokke-Heist

Handy for the police, who can use the images to solve a lot of minor and major crime. Philippe Vandierendonck, Police Zone Knokke-Heist: “We solved a case last month of an excavator that was stolen from a construction site. Thanks to an analysis of the camera images in the area, we were able to link a vehicle, and later an identity to the connect the driver and thus later to the perpetrator of the facts.”

The camera network is Knokke-Heist’s hobbyhorse. And this year, cameras will be added at twenty locations. Good for an investment of half a million euros. Piet De Groote, mayor of Knokke-Heist: “We will then have a total of around 180 cameras. We also have 22 ANPR cameras, but it is especially important that a camera is a very important tool. We want to keep it that way and We want to invest even more in this in the future.”
