CCTV footage as a tool for a safer city centre
CCTV can be a useful tool in addressing crime and supporting a safer city centre. Below is detail about making footage available for investigations and providing information about private CCTV coverage of public spaces as part of a wider network.
Supplying CCTV footage to police
If there is footage of an offence taking place, it can be used to assist in police investigations.
- Video footage can be supplied manually to the local police station (USB / DVD etc) or be collected by an officer
-
To allow police to view and download the CCTV footage it can be included in a Dropbox link which can be entered into the online 105 system or emailed to police directly upon their request if you have already made contact with them.
Providing details of external CCTV cameras
Police are inviting the submission of details of city centre CCTV cameras on private property, where they have an external view - that is, looking out on the footpath and/or road. If your property has an external CCTV camera and you would like to provide details to the police, please download the form below, fill it out and email it to Mark Wiig.
