Abstract: Insecurity has become a growing concern worldwide. It has become one of the major challenges facing Nigeria. It is a problem that has significantly threatened and undermined the peaceful existence of the country. Governments and organizations globally have been exploring various measures to address this challenge. This paper, therefore appraised Ondo State Government directive on installation of closed-circuit television camera (CCTV). The study used both quantitative and qualitative techniques of research methods to analyse and interpret data collected. Two hundred and six respondents were selected from residents of Owo Local Government Area. Findings of the study revealed low level of awareness on the directive and poor compliance level. This was attributed to the fact that the directive was an executive order rather than a Law. The study therefore recommended passing the directive into a law so as to empower security agents to enforce it legally. Also, the state government should collaborate with civil organizations and non-governmental organizations to create public awareness for the directive. Finally, youth empowerment and employment should be addressed so as to reduce vulnerability of young people to criminal activities.
