The Pájara City Council has installed 52 road surveillance cameras and license plate readers at strategic points in the municipality to improve security and the response capacity of law enforcement agencies.

The governing team of the Pájara City Council has fulfilled a mandate commitment by equipping security forces with new technological tools. Fifty-two road surveillance cameras and license plate readers have been installed at key points on municipal roads to enhance security and response capabilities within the municipality.
The mayor of Pájara, Alejandro Jorge, along with the Councilor for Security and Emergencies, Raimundo Dacosta, and the first deputy mayor, Alexis Alonso, supervised the progress of this initiative, driven by the Department of Security and Emergencies in collaboration with the New Technologies Area.
The project includes the installation of surveillance and license plate reading devices, as well as the setup of screens to centralize information at the control center. Councilor Raimundo Dacosta expressed his satisfaction, noting that this measure is part of the government team's commitments and that "other measures aimed at improving security in Pájara" will be announced in the coming months.
First Deputy Mayor Alexis Alonso emphasized that these devices will "reinforce security and respond to a demand from the population," serving as support for the Local Police, the Civil Guard, and soon, the Canary Islands Police.
Mayor Alejandro Jorge stated that the installation "sends a clear message to those who arrive in the municipality with the intention of breaking coexistence rules or committing a crime." He assured that entrances and exits will now have systems providing "useful information for security forces" regarding vehicles, relevant for their investigations.
This initiative was made possible through the support of the Department of Security and Emergencies of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura and joint work with the Department of New Technologies of the Pájara City Council, led by Salah Chehaib. The goal is to continue incorporating technological resources to improve coordination and response to incidents.
