In the heart of the Dominican Republic, the fight against drug trafficking faced a significant challenge – the absence of centralized surveillance at key ports of embarkation. Recognizing the critical need to fortify their defenses, the U.S. State Department extended a helping hand to the Government of the Dominican Republic through a Firm-Fixed-Contract awarded to GovValue.
The lack of a centralized surveillance system left these crucial points of entry unchecked, creating an environment ripe for illicit activities. It was clear that a transformative solution was needed to safeguard the nation and its citizens.
GovValue embarked on a mission to design, implement, and test a cutting-edge solution – a Video Wall Command Center for the Dominican Republic-based Drug Control Agency (DNCD). The goal was not only to address the existing surveillance gap but to elevate the capabilities of DNCD in overseeing and enforcing drug control measures.

The heart of the solution lay in the creation of a multi-port data collection and video surveillance system.
Meticulously designed and implemented by GovValue, this system was set to be monitored by dedicated DNCD agents. It wasn’t just about technology; it was about empowering the agency with real-time insights and control over the ports crucial to their mission.
This transformative hub became the nerve center of drug enforcement activities in the Dominican Republic, providing unparalleled oversight and enforcement capabilities.
From this Command Center, DNCD agents could monitor multiple ports simultaneously, ensuring a swift response to any potential threats. The once-vulnerable ports were now fortified with cutting-edge technology, creating a robust defense against drug traffickers and securing the nation’s borders.
What We Think
This project is not just about technology; it’s about collaboration, commitment, and the shared goal of ensuring the safety and security of the Dominican Republic. GovValue takes pride in being part of this impactful journey, working hand in hand with the U.S. State Department and DNCD to turn vulnerabilities into strengths.
