New CCTV suite at Telford police station to monitor 700 cameras around borough
A new CCTV suite will allow more than 700 cameras to be monitored across Telford & Wrekin.
The suite, which will be monitored by police, Telford & Wrekin Council staff, and volunteers, is at Malinsgate Police Station in Telford, and will monitor more than 30 sites across the borough.
The centre has been funded through a joint partnership by Telford & Wrekin Council and West Mercia's Police and Crime Commissioner, John Campion.
The council's Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing, Enforcement and Transport, Richard Overton, said: “We are on your side when it comes to community safety and willing to work closely with partners to deliver an effective response that serves the needs of all involved.
“From residents looking for reassurance or deterrents to crime and anti-social behaviour to the police and our own teams needing evidence to secure prosecutions.
