Report Title: Adoption of New CCTV Policy

Presented by: Councillor Barry Mugglestone, Cabinet Member for Environment

Summary:

This report seeks the adoption of a new Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) and Body Worn Video (BWV) Policy. This is to primarily improve compliance of the regulation and administration of the Council’s CCTV function.

The policy also underpins how the Council meets its statutory obligations.  These obligations fall under Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, which requires local authorities to consider crime and disorder reduction in all their functions, and under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, which places a duty on councils and their partners to address serious violence (Serious Violence Duty-SVD) in the borough by using the technologies legally and ethically.
