What are the Recommendations
Overview
The review of CCTV was broadly based on the following 10 themes and examines each issue in detail.
- The need for standards in all aspects of CCTV;
- The need for clear guidelines on registration, inspection and enforcement;
- Training of all personnel;
- The police use of CCTV footage and evidence
- Storage / Volume / Archiving / Retention issues
- The need for CCTV Networks - Live & Stored
- Equipping, resourcing and standardisation within the CJS
- Emerging Technologies / Changing Threats / New & Changing Priorities
- Partnership Working
- Financial and Resource management.
From this review, 44 recommendations have been proposed to help realise the full potential of CCTV across a varied range of uses and to continue to receive the support of the public.
Subgroups
There are, within the Strategy, a number of key recommendations on which the Board would like to make quick progress on, and which support the recent Ministerial commitment to establish a National CCTV Board, voluntary registration scheme with standards and Codes of Practice.
The National CCTV Strategy Board has established 5 subgroups, chaired by a member of the board, to take forward these key recommendations. Each subgroup chair will be expected to give a brief update on progress at full Strategy Board meetings.
Group 1 - Standards
Recommendations 2.1, 2.3, 2.7, 2.9
These recommendations are around the standards issues.
Group 2 - Establishment of the National CCTV Body and Registration Scheme
