CCTV
CCTV Code of Practice
The use of Closed Circuit television (CCTV) is a powerful tool in the fight against crime and Anti-Social Behaviour, both in its prevention and detection.
A CCTV system installed by Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council covers a number of the main streets in Halifax, Brighouse, Elland, Hebden Bridge, Sowerby Bridge, Todmorden, Mytholmroyd, surface car parks and the entrance to a multi-storey car park in the Borough.
The system is the property of Council. Authorised management is by Officers of Council Community Services. Calderdale MBC is legally responsible for the system. West Yorkshire Police agree to comply fully with the Code of Practice.
The Council is under a duty to comply with the data protection principles set out in the Data Protection Act 1998. The Council has considered the appropriate legislation and considers that the CCTV system meets the requirements of the data protection principles and that it is empowered, under Section 163 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 to provide the system to promote the prevention of crime and the welfare of the victims of crime.
