Sabiedrisko telpu videonovērošanas (CCTV) nodrošinājuma neatkarīgs pārskats Dienvidvelsā

Emma Wools, the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales ("the Commissioner") made a pledge in her election manifesto to perform a review of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) arrangements across the seven Local Authority (LAs) areas within the South Wales police area. CCTV plays a critical role in enhancing public safety, preventing and detecting crime and supporting community reassurance across South Wales. It supports the delivery of South Wales Police and partnership priorities including; tackling serious violence and anti-social behaviour, protecting vulnerable people, and maintaining safe and vibrant town centres and night-time economies. An independent review shall be commissioned by the Commissioner to provide a comprehensive assessment of current public space CCTV provision. The review shall consider the contribution, needs and opportunities presented by LAs, policing, community safety partners and other relevant stakeholders across the South Wales Police force area. The geographical area covers the seven Local Authority areas of Bridgend, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Neath Port Talbot, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea and Vale of Glamorgan. The review shall provide recommendations that ensure public space CCTV capability remains effective, sustainable, and fit for purpose in supporting crime prevention, public safety, and policing and partnership objectives, while establishing a clear blueprint for future delivery arrangements beyond May 2028, when new police governance arrangements are anticipated to be in place. **Contract dates are provided for guidance only and are dependent upon the successful completion of vetting.
