  • Question by: Krupesh Hirani

Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Use in Brent

  • Reference: 2022/4077
  • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
  • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
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?

Usage of Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) Automatic Plate Recognition Cameras for Crime Prevention and Detection Work by the Metropolitan Police Service

  • Reference: 2022/4076
  • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
  • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
The Deputy Mayor for Transport has confirmed to me that ULEZ cameras have the added benefit of tackling crime, in respect of their installation for the proposed further expansion of the ULEZ to outer London. While their location would be to ensure effective enforcement of the ULEZ, in practice they will assist in crime prevention or investigation. Privacy campaigners have likened this to surveillance; I disagree with their view. How do you respond to their challenge?
