We use 215 closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in Torbay to help tackle crime. We also use it to help with other things like locating missing people and monitoring traffic flow.
Images from our Town Centre CCTV cameras are recorded 24 hours a day and footage from the system can be used as evidence in both criminal and civil legal proceedings.
Police Access to CCTV Footage
Where an offence has been reported in an area covered by our CCTV cameras, the Police will often ask to view any CCTV footage that might be relevant.
