FOI request (FOIR-805598303)
Percentages of CCTV cameras currently not operational
Requested Mon 02 March 2026
Responded Fri 10 July 2026I would like to have:
- Information on the number of CCTV cameras in your area
- Information on the number of cameras that are faulty or non-operational across your area to date (March 2nd 2026) and also during the following periods 2024, 2025 and the current 2026 period. This can be broken down into months or years. However, the data is held.
- A percentage and number breakdown on reasons for them not being in use, ie vandalised, faulty, outdated equipment etc
- Where there were faulty cameras, I would like details on how long it took for those faults to be fixed. I am looking for data on the date a camera was reported faulty and then a date for when it was fully operational again.
- Details on how often CCTV systems in your area are reviewed, when was the last time the systems were reviewed or audited as a whole to check suitability rather than fault fixing specific cameras.
