In June 2019 the CID extended the current CCTV cameras and installed a further two cameras, one on the corner of Brug and Micro Street, and the other at the intersection Brug and Isotope Street.

Currently there is a total of eight cameras in the Triangle Farm area, including two LPR’s (Licence Plate Recognition) cameras at both entrances of Electron and Brug Street.

The CID trailer sponsored by the Department of Community Safety (DOCS) is deployed from Monday to Friday in Uranium Street that leads to the public open space together with a security officer. People entering and leaving the area are monitored daily.

Due to the robberies taking place on the public open space adjacent to Triangle Farm, the Roads Department supplied millings for roads for the CID’s Security service provider to monitor and patrol this section.

Due to the existing vibracrete wall that was carried away by the vagrants and people dumping and entering the area via the public open space, the CID installed a 2.2m high, 56m Hollowcore wall in May 2019.
