CCTV monitoring shared service agreement

cctvCCTV services in Tamworth are provided in partnership with West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) to help develop a safe and secure community.

The overt (open) surveillance camera systems are owned by Tamworth Borough Council and operated in accordance with the relevant General Data Protection Regulations, as well as good practice guidelines issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office, Surveillance Camera Commission. This is so the need for public protection can be balanced with respect for individual privacy.

As part of the shared service agreement with the WMCA, Tamworth benefits from:

  • CCTV monitored 24 hours a day from the WMCA’s state-of-the-art control centre in Birmingham
  • Expertise and intelligence including ISO 27001 National Quality Assurance Accreditation
  • Working across boundaries with other councils and police forces
  • An upgraded fully digital HD system and the WMCA’s superior video analytics
  • Shared access to police analysts and radio links to the police
  • Partnership working with people who use Tamworth’s Storenet and Nightnet radio surveillance systems to proactively reduce and manage crime in the town
