City Council invests in Salisbury CCTV system upgrade

Salisbury CCTV will soon benefit from a system upgrade due to additional funding from Salisbury City Council.

With working and volunteering hours continuing to rise as well as the expansion of CCTV in the City, the control room system now needs an upgrade and an additional budget of £25,000 has been agreed to do this.

The installation will take place in May and carried out by contractors Smart Integrated Solutions. The new software will enable the operators to work more effectively and continue to uphold CCTV and data protection regulations.

In addition to a system upgrade, 4 deployable CCTV cameras will soon be installed in the City following Salisbury City Council’s successful bid to the government’s Safer Street Funding. The cameras will join the 64 cameras that are already installed across the City which are recording 24/7.

Salisbury CCTV plays a very important role in keeping the City safe and assists in preventing and detecting crime. The control room is monitored by a fantastic team who do a great job in providing vital evidence and intelligence to partners including the Police, ShopWatch, PubWatch and City Centre Security Officers.

If you would like to play a key role in the community by joining the team as a volunteer CCTV Operator, please contact the CCTV Manager, Keith Jackson on kjackson@salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk
