 CONCLUSIONS AND RECCOMENDATIONS

This chapter would present the findings and conclusions derived from the

gathered data by the researchers as well as the recommendations of the researchers.

Summary

1. The data gathered reveal that the level of implementation of installing CCTV’S

in crime prevention is very implemented especially by DOST who is giving technical

assistance on CCTV’S installation, they guiding the Barangay officials on how those unit

can operate. The facilitation of additional resource for law enforcement and security

assistance whenever necessary is very implemented too.

2. The data reveals that the level of effectiveness of CCTV’ S in crime

prevention is very effective because it lessens the opportunity of the couples on

scandalous acts and it helps also to solve vandalism and malicious mischief the

institution or establishments. These violation of laws is easily to forget because it was a

petty crimes only and the law enforcer chose to disregard above mention crimes but

with the help of CCTV’S those crimes was easily to solve.

 3. The result reveals the level of problem encountered in the use of CCTV’S in

San Carlos City, Pangasinan were fairly serious. It could be gleaned that insufficient

fund/ no budget and the CCTV’S could easily stole is a serious problem because for it to

maximize the visual recordings, the Barangays need to buy a high quality units but

expensive and some people stole the CCTV’S for them to use it on their property.

4. The data gathered reveals that the level of urgency of some

recommendations to strengthen the implementation and effectiveness of CCTV’S in

crime prevention is very urgent that there must be an allocation of budget for its

installation and maintenance, providing a 24/ 7 standby electrical source that can be

used in case of power interruption and installation of CCTV’S near the street light to

properly monitor anything during night time.

Conclusions

CCTV cameras are a highly effective tool in crime prevention. CCTV is useful in

traffic violation, crime against property and crime against persons. Types of respondent

do not affect the effectiveness of CCTV camera in crime prevention. CCTV’S helps the

law enforcement for crime prevention, it is one of the best type of physical security that

brings a psychological deterrent to a would be offender. I therefore conclude that Local

government unit nowadays had no enough budgets for this type of security, according

to the data gathered, essential provisions of House Bill 4284 had ten but only two of

them has a descriptive equivalent of Very Implemented, one of the reason for these is
because the community was not aware for the importance of this provisions even the

Barangay officials themselves.

Reccomendations

1. Barangays may install CCTV cameras in the entrance and exit areas for the

monitoring of constituents behavior.

2. The barangays with the help of the city government, specifically the

engineering office may assess a geometrical placement of CCTV on streets

considering its visual clarity or pixel value and amount of resolution to ensure valuable

recorded information for identification of persons and vehicle involved.

3. The barangays with the help of the city government may consider appointing

or hiring a qualified individual to monitor CCTV operation to ensure prompt response in

case of crime or violation detection, file retrieval and minor trouble shooting. For those

interested, especially of private and commercial establishments, they may seek

assistance of professional people engaged in CCTV operation for appropriate CCTV

types and areas of replacement to ensure effective and efficient function.

4. The barangays with the help of the city government may consider providing
allocation for buying a generator set that serve as a backup power source in case of

interruption or buying an automatic CCTV’S set with installed battery on it to

continuously operate even during a power interruption.
