CCTV in Newark and Sherwood
Closed circuit television (CCTV) is designed to deter and detect acts of crime.
Our CCTV network
We own and operates a CCTV system within the district. It has been running 24 hours a day since October 1999.
Our cameras have been strategically placed in a carefully planned network. They are designed to deter and detect acts of crime and disorder and help with community safety.
All cameras are subject to regular reviews to make sure that they still meet the purpose for which they were originally installed.
Links with Nottinghamshire Police
The control room has direct links with Nottinghamshire Police via dedicated police radios and a direct telephone link.
We can also transmit images directly to the police control room, so that they can monitor live incidents.
Links with local businesses
The control room is in contact with more than 40 local businesses via a radio link system.
It enables retailers, including pubs and clubs, the control room and other organisations in Newark town centre to speak to each other, immediately.
