CCTV

Images are recorded 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.  Recordings are retained for 30 days unless a request is received to retain a particular piece of footage for a longer period.  Footage from the system can be used as evidence in both criminal and civil court cases.

Police access to CCTV footage

Where an offence has been reported in an area covered by our CCTV cameras, the Police may ask to view any CCTV footage that might be helpful.
