Now recording
All cameras are recorded on to a digital recording system which is running 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
All recorded images are retained for 30 days. This allows police officers and other statutory agencies adequate time to view the images and, where necessary, request them to be prepared as evidence.
Live and recorded images can also be relayed to the police communications centre at Lincoln and to various police stations throughout the district. This allows senior police officers to assess incidents, ensuring that adequate resources are dispatched.
Radio communications
The monitoring centre also acts as the controlling station for a number of radio communication systems which link to shops and licensed premises in Grantham, Bourne and Stamford who sign up to the 'Pub Watch' or 'Shop Watch' radio scheme. The base stations are located at the monitoring centre and at various retail outlets and public houses. Police community support officers, neighbourhoods officers and the police carry handheld radios. Information can be passed between all those involved in relation to situations ranging from missing children to major public order incidents. A dedicated telephone and radio link has been established with the police communications centre to allow incidents to be reported quickly and efficiently.
Your protection
At South Kesteven District Council we have a team of highly skilled and experienced CCTV Operators. Our operators are trained not to observe private areas and are totally accountable for their actions. If you have particular concerns on this matter please contact us.
Access to the CCTV control room is by authorised personnel only as required by the Data Protection Act of 2018. In addition to this, authorised agencies are allowed access to CCTV images. If footage is required by members of the public/solicitors/insurance companies etc. then appropriate forms must be completed.
When requesting CCTV footage, you must consider what information you are asking for. If you want copies of CCTV which relates solely to you and contains no one else and no other personal information, then you must submit a subject access request.
If you require information that includes other people, then you are not able to access the information. The police, insurers and other legal professionals are able to submit 'Request for CCTV images (legal professions)' form within 30 days to request a copy of the required footage, a legal reason/purpose must be submitted with this request.
