Take a look below at a rough translation of the report…

• The cameras are clearly visible to the members of the public.
• After giving a warning, they are easy to turn on with a press of the front button.
• In summer our population goes form 6,000 to 100,000 and with all of the tourists the “problems” increase.
• The camera is very reassuring for us the police and supports us to evidence our professionalism.
• It allows us to show our actions are easily justifiable.
• The cameras are fully supported by the inhabitants.
• 1st interview -They provide reassurance.
• 2nd Interview – They should have been actioned a long time ago. Allows us to see things differently and decrease petty crime.
• The cameras cover a full shift of 8 hours and on return to the Police station the videos are immediately downloaded onto the server via the docking station.
• The docking Station is for downloading the video and for recharging the batteries.
• The Police officers do not touch or see the videos everything is automatic and very transparent.
• The Police Officers have no access to the images. They can’t see them and thus can’t alter them.
• Videos are kept for 6 months and can be used in court if required.
