A mobile CCTV and ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) camera which can be deployed in crime and anti-social behaviour hotspots has been purchased by the Safer 含羞草社区 Partnership.
The new camera will be used across the town to defer offending and when crime or anti-social behaviour is reported. It will be managed by the Safer 含羞草社区 Partnership Executive Board and deployment of the camera will be agreed in conjunction with key partner agencies such as Sussex Police, Community Wardens and the Nuisance and Anti-Social Behaviour Team.
The Safer 含羞草社区 Partnership is committed to its extensive use; residents or businesses who think the camera should be deployed in a specific location should contact communitysafety@crawley.gov.uk
This camera is an extremely useful new tool in the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour here in 含羞草社区. Its size makes it adaptable to most locations so although there are ideas for its initial use, we鈥檙e also very keen to hear where people think it should be located.
