The Home Office states CCTV surveillance is particularly valuable when used as part of a wider crime reduction strategy, thus strengthening partnership with the local police.

Pictures from the cameras are continuously recorded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Police have full control of the system and monitor cameras and recordings as and when required.

Types of offences that can lead to arrests include:

• Shoplifting.
• Pick-pocketing.
• Possession of drugs.
• Assault.
• Unauthorised taking of motor vehicles.
• Public order offences.
