Hannah Yeoh says DBKL, police mull joint control centre for KL’s 10,000 CCTVs

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) are considering the establishment of a joint control centre to enhance their access to the city's extensive CCTV system. Minister Hannah Yeoh highlighted the importance of this initiative, noting that the city is home to approximately 10,000 CCTV units that could greatly improve operational efficiency in monitoring and responding to security incidents and managing traffic flow.

The proposed control centre would be easily accessible to the police, complementing DBKL's existing smart CCTVs and addressing the current reliance on ground-based police presence for traffic management. The initiative has been allocated RM60,000 for ICT equipment at Sentul District Police Headquarters and RM100,000 for logistics costs related to police programs.
