Dudley Aims To Slash Crime With CCTV Surveillance Equipment.

In a move to cut crime and enhance the safety of the town, Dudley Council have announced that they are getting set to link all of their CCTV together- in a scheme which is set to cost around £86,000.

All of the CCTV across the area will link together in an attempt to create a super system- which will also include traffic cameras.

It is hoped that merging all of the surveillance equipment will help to cut criminal activity in the area, as it will enable more areas to be covered.

The council’s cabinet member for transportation, Councillor Angus Adams, enthused:

“I’m really pleased we have found a way to link up the systems which will bring about numerous benefits. I know it has already been of significant use to officers looking after our gritting operations during the cold weather and highways staff will now be able to keep on top of changing road conditions and incidents thanks to the live feeds they will be able to view.”

Equally optimistic, cabinet member Adrian Turner, added:

“I am sure the link-up will increase public protection and reassurance and should bring efficiencies to police responses to incidents as the new images will also be relayed directly into police operational control rooms.”

The system is set to go live in the very near future.
