There was excitement when the Integrated Command, Control and Communications Centre (IC3) was launched at Jogoo House.

But as it is turned out, crime never climbed down and traffic chaos persists as lawbreakers make mincemeat of the surveillance cameras installed in Central Business District (CBD) and on key roads.
