CCTV Cameras

CCTV cameras are often used to support other crime prevention projects. One such example is the Mellow Yellow project recently introduced to improve communication between licenced premises and the police about potentially difficult patrons during the evenings. Where incidents are reported to police, the CCTV cameras are directed to the incident to enable evidential information to be collected for later use by police.
