Police In Devon Get Surveillance Boost
Police in Goodrington in Devon have been given a boost- in the form of CCTV surveillance equipment which can see for up to a 3 mile radius.
The mobile surveillance equipment will be installed on top of a police van, and sits 10 metres above ground. It has been introduced in the hope of tackling a range of crimes- including anti-social behaviour. Areas which have been blighted with anti- social behaviour will benefit from use of the camera- which is said to have cost around Β£20,000.
The surveillance equipment features 2 cameras- which can span an area of 360 degrees, have night vision capabilities and can be adjusted or moved several times a day by local police officers.
Locals- many of whom have fallen victim to anti social behaviour themselves- have campaigned tirelessly for the surveillance equipment, and are thrilled that it has finally been given the thumbs up.
Local business owner Adam Nunn said:
“I am so pleased it is about to be deployed it can act as another deterrent in areas where there isn’t currently CCTV or a regular police presence.”
In addition to housing the surveillance equipment, the police van will also be able to hold those who choose to indulge in anti- social behaviour.
The forceβs Inspector Mayhew explained:
“This is a 10 metre mast on a marked police van. I would hope that people will not commit antisocial behaviour where there is first class surveillance.”
Hopefully, the CCTV will go a long way in reassuring the public and keeping anti- social behaviour at bay.
