Ulaanbaatar City Police Department has installed a total of 2,530 surveillance cameras over the last two months in an effort to clamp down on crimes.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the measure is part of the originally-named ‘Let’s Install Cameras’ campaign aimed at preventing crimes and creating safe and healthy living conditions for citizens.
The department said that over 28,780 individuals and entities participated in the campaign, and that the cameras, installed at places where crimes happen frequently, are worth MNT 580 million (nearly 240,000 U.S. dollars).
