Good day, Bermuda.
As your Minister for National Security, I want to begin by emphasizing that your voices matter. I hear your concerns about privacy and the placement of CCTV cameras in your communities, and I want to assure you that they are being taken seriously.
My top priority is the safety and well-being of every resident of Bermuda. A strong partnership between the government and the people we serve is essential to achieving that goal. While CCTV cameras have played a critical role in crime prevention and law enforcement efforts, I fully understand that their presence raises valid privacy concerns.
I assure you that we are actively reviewing these concerns and assessing the placement of both existing and future cameras to ensure they meet our shared objectives- enhancing security while respecting individual privacy. We will approach this process thoughtfully and transparently, with the goal of striking the right balance between safety and privacy.
Engagement with residents, community leaders, and key stakeholders will remain a priority throughout this process. Your input is invaluable, and we are committed to working together to find solutions that address your concerns while keeping Bermuda safe for everyone.
Thank you for your patience, feedback, and trust as we navigate this important issue. Rest assured, my team and I are listening, and we are dedicated to implementing a CCTV system that supports security and the rights of our community.
Thank you.
