CCTV and Retail Radio
CCTV operates across the borough to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour such as fly-tipping, graffiti and other criminal damage.
We operate a network of cameras covering all town centres and the housing estates. The system is operational 24 hours a day with links to Wandsworth Borough Police, St George's Hospital, local train stations and the TfL road network.
We provide a Retail Radio system to shops and businesses which enables them to speak to each other as well as directly to the CCTV control room to report incidents.
All cameras are operated in accordance with the Data Commission's data principles and our CCTV Code of Practice. View the Surveillance Camera Commissioner's code of practice.
