Issue - meetings

The New CCTV Policy replaces the Three Rivers District Council CCTV Codes of Practice 2021 and forms part of a wider CCTV review currently taking place at Three Rivers District Council. The review includes the purchase of new Community Safety Partnership CCTV cameras, this new policy and an agreement with Hertfordshire County Council to attach CCTV cameras to their street furniture.

The policy depicts Three Rivers District Council’s approach to both CCTV systems owned and operating in the district. The two systems, Three Rivers District Council CCTV system (TRDC CCTV) and Three Rivers Community Safety Partnership CCTV system (TRCSP CCTV), are monitored, maintained and operate separate from one another. The policy outlines the cameras positions, who is responsible for them and the legislation that they operate under.

Recommendation

       i.          That Policy and Resources to agree the adoption of the new CCTV policy 2024 – 2028 and recommend  to Council.

And

      ii.          The Committee agrees to give delegated Authority to Associate Director of Corporate, Customer and Community to authorise minor changes to the policy, such as terminology, clarification, or administrative corrections with no significant impact.
