The Brisbane Inner West Patrol Group launched the Community Camera Alliance today. The Community Camera Alliance is a voluntary closed circuit television (CCTV) registration program.
This initiative aims to promote the positive relationship between the community and police by encouraging the registration of CCTV systems located in residential and business environments across the Brisbane Inner West Patrol Group in order to prevent crime and make the community safer. It will also enhance investigative capacity and increase community engagement through the establishment of a voluntary CCTV registration system on the QPS database, QPRIME.
CCTV has become a crucial investigative tool in modern day policing. CCTV vision is regularly used to investigate and solve serious crime and is invaluable when used as evidence. The use of CCTV can potentially reduce investigation time resulting in swifter outcomes.
Registration is open to any individual, owner or operator of a CCTV system across the Brisbane Inner West Patrol Group.
