FOI request (FOI216541)

Benefits and effectiveness of proactively monitored CCTV cameras versus reactive retrieval

Requested Tue 04 July 2017
Responded  Tue 04 July 2017

Approximate breakdown of how your CCTV control room is funded. I do not need to know the actual financial value (which I understand might be sensitive information) - but a brief breakdown of the portioned approximations would be really helpful (e.g. x% from local businesses, x% from the city council, x% from police contributions, x% from alternative initiatives such as a home call alarm system).

Once this information is accumulated with that of other CCTV control centres, it may be used to:

i)  inform you of how your operating room's funding breakdown compares to the national average

ii) identity alternative potential/untapped income streams obtained by other control rooms

Response

Hastings Borough Council's annual operating budget is entirely funded by the Boroughs own finances.
