The candidate for Georgia's interior minister and current head of the State Security Service Vakhtang Gomelauri said that in the coming months 5,000 cameras in total will work around Georgia and 40% of them will be equipped with a face and license plate recognition system.
"Cameras are very important for security, for investigations and for the prevention of crime," Gomelauri said, adding that patrol police crews will increase in Tbilisi and the construction and renovation of police infrastructure will continue.
He said that reforms in the ministry will continue, with clear boundaries between the duties of different departments and units.
"The systemic reform also covers changes in the law," Agenda.ge cited Gomelauri as saying.
Gomelauri noted that the ‘crucial component’ of the investigation system reform is the division of functions of prosecutors and investigators.
"The process will continue and we will also ensure to boost qualification of investigators and attract motivated young people in the system," he added.
According to the candidate, an effective fight against crime and prevention are a priority. "The division of investigative, district and operative directions of the ministry serves the goal. The reform will cover whole Georgia," Gomelauri said.
