“We do see a big shift in the change of behaviour, a shift of crime out of that area… The data is collected ensuring that it is admissible in court and allows law enforcement and prosecutors to use it to close the loop and prosecute those criminals.”

“… the public sector policing through JMPD, the Gauteng Wardens, and SAPS all have access to it. We’ve also got over 100 other control rooms that have access to the network.”
