Brent Council was recently selected, out of all councils, to host a visit by the Swedish Police to show how CCTV helps detect and prevent crime. While the 243+ active CCTV cameras in Brent and 50 cameras (that have rapid deployment capabilities) can spot crime while it is happening, they have other uses - including catching dangerous drivers and illegal rubbish dumpers, as well as locating vulnerable people. Is there a piece of work to be done to inform members of the public about how CCTV keeps them safe?
