The Council’s CCTV Team has recently passed its annual British Standard 7958 inspection for an eighteenth consecutive year, demonstrating that the team are operating to the highest standards.
BS 7958 is a British Standard that provides guidelines for the management and operation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) control rooms.
It aims to ensure that CCTV control rooms are operated effectively, ethically, and in compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements. The standard covers various aspects of CCTV control room operations including staffing, training, equipment, procedures, and data protection.
By adhering to BS 7958, local authorities can enhance their CCTV operations, meet legal obligations, improve public safety, and uphold public trust in their surveillance practices.
Councillor Katie Hunt, Portfolio Holder for Safer Communities, Leisure and Environment, said: “I’m extremely proud of the achievements of the CCTV team, who continue to demonstrate their commitment to providing the highest standards of service in keeping our streets safe.
“I know that the whole team wear this achievement as a badge of honour and are proud of their involvement in making Warwick District a safer place to live, work & visit.”
