(Contributed Photo)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>TUMON, Guam<\/strong>\u2014The Guam Visitors Bureau and Docomo Pacific have teamed up to increase public safety efforts in Tumon with the installation of the new Digital Sentry System.<\/p>\n<p>Docomo Pacific generously donated the new system to help the Guam Police Department monitor Tumon at the Sgt. Frankie Smith Precinct. The public-private partnership will augment GPD\u2019s presence and act as a crime deterrent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTourism is growing and so does our need for public safety,\u201d said Gov. Eddie Baza Calvo. \u201cI commend Docomo Pacific, GVB and GPD for all working together to bring a peace of mind for all who enjoy visiting our island.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank Docomo Pacific for providing a valuable resource for our police officers,\u201d said Lt. Gov. Ray Tenorio. \u201cIt\u2019s public-private partnerships like this that give our island the tools it needs to ensure preventative measures are in place for the well-being of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful for this opportunity to extend ourselves to the community with the donation of a state-of-the-art Digital Sentry System throughout Tumon. As a company that believes in Corporate Social Responsibility\u2014it is important to use our products and services to ensure peace of mind for our residents and visitors,\u201d said Thomas Higa, chief commercial officer for Docomo Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>Docomo Pacific\u2019s investment of over $100,000 in equipment and labor will also include maintenance, repairs, and upgrades\u2014making this a very lucrative donation for the Guam Visitors Bureau and the Guam Police Department. <\/p>\n<p>The previous Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system that GPD operated was donated from funds raised through the Governor\u2019s Cup golf tournament in the early 2000s. However, the system lacked funding and maintenance over the years. When Docomo Pacific learned that GVB was planning to update the CCTV, they stepped up and donated the new system. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe public\u2019s safety continues to be paramount, especially as we prepare for all the events and activities associated with our Visit Guam 2016 year,\u201d said GVB general manager Nathan Denight. \u201cWith the anticipated arrival of more visitors and returning island residents, especially during the time of the PATA Annual Summit and the Festival of Pacific Arts, it\u2019s important that everyone feels safe. We thank Docomo Pacific for helping us out and we look forward to working with them and the Guam Police Department to extend coverage of the Digital Sentry System outside of Tumon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> The Digital Sentry System covers Pale San Vitores Road, including all major entry and exit points into Tumon. GVB has plans to expand the system to include beachside monitoring as well as coverage along Governor Carlos Camacho Road and Camp Watkins Road.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThis is really a great thing for the Guam Police Department because we\u2019re building that partnership,\u201d said Police Chief Joseph Cruz. \u201cThe camera system that you see here today is not just keeping our tourism industry safe, it\u2019s keeping our community safe. I see this as the bigger picture. The bottom line is that we are going to continue to collaborate.\u201d (PR)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUMON, Guam\u2014The Guam Visitors Bureau and Docomo Pacific have teamed up to increase public safety&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":219233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[230,2836,3619,7969],"class_list":["post-219194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-docomo-pacific","tag-gpd","tag-guam-police-department","tag-gvb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
