Introduction

This CCTV Strategy covers the period 2019 - 2025 and follows on from the previous strategy that was produced in 2010 as part of the Safer, Cleaner, Greener Review.

The Strategy sets out the Council’s current CCTV provision, detailing respective locations, numbers of cameras, costs for maintenance, repairs and replacements for the next six years, along with recommendations for de-commissioning of equipment. It also provides an overview of the benefits that are realised for the local communities in which it is installed and the various use made of CCTV footage by the Police and insurance companies.

Since 2010 the Council has continued to deliver a reliable and robust video surveillance service for local-residents, businesses, and partners. Our service continues to be held in high regard by our customers and within our affiliations with the National Association of Surveillance Camera Managers (NASCAM) and the Public CCTV Managers Association (PCMA). As part of our continued commitment to managing CCTV responsibly we are currently preparing for ‘3rd party certification’ a voluntary independent audit of our CCTV service. This is part of the raising standards and co- ordinated effort objectives set out under the National Surveillance Camera Strategy for England & Wales.

The Council’s success in its use of CCTV has generated ongoing demand from service areas within EFDC. Some of this expansion includes provision at Waltham Abbey leisure centre, our public car parks, new housing developments, upgrades to existing buildings and in our public spaces. The point has now been reached where an increased budget is required, to meet the costs of replacing old equipment and the increased servicing and maintenance costs, which is also covered by the Strategy.

National Policy

In June 2013, the Home Office published a new Surveillance Camera Code of Practice. This new Code issued by the Secretary of State is pursuant to section 30 (1) (a) of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and provides guidance on the appropriate and effective use of surveillance camera systems by relevant authorities as defined by section 33 of the 2012 Act in England & Wales. EFDC must have regard to the code when exercising any functions to which the Code relates.

One of the key aspects of the Code is the introduction of 12 guiding principles. Within these principles there is a need for transparency in use, clear roles, good governance, rules and policies being in place, legal compliance, and regular reviews.

In March 2017, the surveillance camera commissioner (SCC) released the National Surveillance Camera Strategy for England & Wales to help raise standards and define good and best practices. EFDC continues to strive to meet these objectives through both strategies.

Overview of the Council’s CCTV Code of Practice

In July 2019 the Code of Practice (CoP) for CCTV operated by EFDC was reviewed and changes were made to reflect technical advances within the industry, our own growth and in line with the current national CoP.

Our full CoP can be found on within EFDC’s public website, showing a measure of transparency in keeping with national expectation. The Code covers those areas listed overleaf:

 How and why we use CCTV in Epping Forest  Aims of use

3

 Purposes  Objectives  Planning of systems  Privacy  Ownerships  Processes

Regular reviews of the Code are carried out in line with the national code and acts of law, to ensure that the Council utilises CCTV responsibly and lawfully.

New CCTV Installations

The Council operates a protocol of having to identify a ‘pressing need and legitimate aim’ for the introduction of new CCTV systems. The service area requesting this are responsible themselves with the assistance of the Community Resilience (CR) team for justifying the need and securing the required funding or budgetary provision. In cases where the CCTV needs to be installed on private land, such as to monitor fly tipping, they are also responsible for liaising with respective landowners to gain authorisation and access local power networks. The planning, installations and all technical work related to the systems is then undertaken by the CR team.

This approach will continue under this latest strategy, ensuring that the costs and necessity of new CCTV installations are considered and included within business cases prepared by the service requiring them. Ownership will encourage careful consideration when asking for CCTV to determine if such systems are really required and that providing/securing funding is available.

CCTV - Current Status in Epping Forest District

At the time of production of this Strategy (July 2019), the Council has a total of 782 CCTV cameras installed across 61 sites within the district, and a further 11 portable units and 3 covert systems which are utilised as and when required.

There are also three new CCTV installation projects currently in progress as follows:  The Drive, Smarts Lane and High Beech EFDC Car Parks.  High Street, Epping  Burton Road, Debden This will increase site numbers to 65 and total cameras to 822 by 2020.

Future CCTV project considerations include:  St Johns Road, Epping  Phase 3 Norway House, North Weald  CCTV systems that may be attributed to the accommodation review.

There is currently an insufficient revenue resource available to properly maintain both the Council’s current CCTV systems and the new installations being rolled out and those planned for 2020 and beyond.

Added to this, many of the cameras are reaching the end of their life expectancy, which is between 5-7 years, and therefore will require a system upgrade or complete replacement. One of our largest site’s Debden Broadway is now reaching critical status in terms of replacement. A detailed breakdown of these sites can be seen in the Financial forecast table on pages 10/11.

Therefore, this Strategy sets out the costs associated with maintaining, servicing and repair of the existing CCTV systems and potential opportunities for de-commissioning of equipment which is no

4 longer useful or relevant, and a forecast of costs in respect of the projects planned for 2019-2025. This does not include any works created by the accommodation review.

The Benefits of CCTV

Across all sites in the District, CCTV cameras record images continually over the 24hour period, although only key locations are proactively monitored under certain circumstances between 9am – 5.00pm. This tends to be where the Council is working with Essex Police in the monitoring of potential crime hot spots, or in response to local intelligence. These monitored locations can however be changed as and when required. Our monitored CCTV coverage has helped Government agencies to identify criminals involved in major crime in the District.

It is evidenced that CCTV is certainly a deterrent to crime, the Council’s CCTV is well managed and maintained, CCTV footage is frequently utilised by the Police, resulting in many perpetrators of crime being brought to justice. In 2018 Essex Police and various insurance companies were provided with downloaded images on 272 occasions this does not include a further 100 investigations of CCTV where images were not required or assistance given to other customers. Areas of surveillance where CCTV has been particularly useful include numerous fly-tipping prosecutions/Fixed Penalty notices, safe parking in our car parks, NTE crime and the capture of footage relating to theft of and from motor vehicles.

In addition, the Council is receiving a 50% increase on requests per month from insurance companies for which a fee of £120 is charged per request and this will potentially increase, as CCTV cover is rolled out across more car parks in the district. This charge has been recently reviewed in line with a national poll, which identified EFDC charges to be within the highest group nationally.

Some recent examples of how CCTV has either played a role in, or has been the main source of evidence in, criminal cases in the district are as below;

 2018/19: Fly-Tipping - Numerous Fixed Penalty Notices issued through CCTV evidence across the district.

 Jan 2019: ROBBERY - using CCTV images, the Police were able to successfully charge the suspect who was later found guilty.

 Jan 2019: BURGLARY - Boots chemist. Using CCTV images, Police were able to successfully charge the suspect who was found guilty in court.

 Mar 2019: ASSAULT suspect charged and found guilty.  Jan 2019: CLOSURE A local nightclub had its licence removed after repeated serious levels of violence. CCTV was instrumental in this closure.

CCTV is also known to reduce fear of crime amongst the public and local businesses and is widely used in tour Council’s buildings, providing staff with reassurance.

Revenue Generation

There are a number of ways of generating additional revenue from CCTV, including a manned CCTV Control Room. Control Rooms can offer traffic management, door access and alarm services, telecare, car parks, monitoring services for external organisations, schools, care homes, local businesses and so on.

Requests for CCTV Footage

CCTV requests are chargeable with the exception of law enforcement agencies such as the Police. This is separate from Subject Access requests which are chargeable up to a maximum fee of £10.00

The following outlines EFDC CCTV Download & Point of Transfer (POT) Fees Policy for 2019-2020 and future years:

 2019-2020: £120.00 for up to the first 4 hours of CCTV footage. This fee includes labour time, statements, sundries, storage media, secure delivery and all administration.

 2019-2020: After the initial 4 hours there will be an hourly rate charge of £30 per hour or part hour to cover officer time.

 Fees to be reviewed and increased annually in line with EFDC’s standard increases for fees and charges

EFDC revenue income since starting this particular service in 2013 is as follows:

YEAR AMOUNT OF SALES TOTAL INCOME 2018 7 £840.00 2019 (up until July) 13 £1,560.00

We anticipate increased growth for this service based on the figures above and further demand when a further 3 car parks in the district come on line with CCTV services in 2020/21.

Loan of Equipment

The Council’s mobile CCTV units are loaned to housing associations and parish and town Councils in the district, to assist them in the reduction of ASB. At present, this is provided at a cost of £240 for 3 months. This currently only covers the cost of installation, however, a monitoring service could be charged on top of this, as the camera will always remain under the control of EFDC for interrogation and evidence retrieval. The benefits of this include reducing ASB in the district whilst assisting other organisations, as well as generating a small income. The average mobile CCTV camera costs approximately £5,000, which includes ongoing airtime costs, so it is more cost effective for HA’s to loan such equipment rather than purchasing. We have also entered into contractual agreements to facilitate NWPC’s CCTV system and are entering into the same agreement with Ongar Town Council.

CCTV Consultancy

The Council’s CCTV Officer is qualified and therefore able to act as a CCTV consultant within the Council and to external organisations including the police. This service could however be expanded and promoted on a charging basis. CCTV officers are also in the process of being Security Industry Authority (SIA) accredited for third party activity.

Digital Innovation Zone

The Council is leading on the Digital Innovation Zone covering five councils in West Essex and Eastern Hertfordshire. Our new Digital Innovation Strategy for the area has been produced and agreed by all the key partners. A key aspect of this is to expand digital capacity and speeds locally and coordinate wherever possible joint investment in delivering in other areas. The CCTV infrastructure is seen as an important spine for digital delivery. In Epping Forest, we will be looking to ensure over a period of time that our investments will help underpin these approaches. When we are renewing significant elements of the CCTV infrastructure we will do so in consultation with the Digital Innovation Network.

The Council’s CCTV Team are actively engaged and continue to be a key member of the Essex Region CCTV Partnership, which includes Brentwood, Colchester, Basildon, Chelmsford, Thurrock, Maldon, Basildon and Tendring Councils. The intention of this group is to use a partnership approach to achieve common goals through experience; avoid unnecessary costs, share success stories, technical knowledge and expertise and potentially may include sharing of equipment.

LED lighting is now being used as it is more energy efficient and provides improved image quality for CCTV and can be better directed, avoiding light pollution. LED lighting is being used as part of the lighting remit for the car parking improvement program.

We are currently trialling a software program called ‘Watchdog’ which alerts the CCTV team to camera failures through email. This will save officer time reducing labour intensive fault finding and allow for more efficient recovery of systems and camera fails.

Other opportunities are being reviewed with companies such as BT however there are currently some limitations of the Open Reach infrastructure.

Potential Decommissioning of Systems

To reduce ongoing costs of CCTV in the district, the Council will continue to undertake a decommissioning assessment exercise. This will focus on CCTV systems that are under-utilised in terms of reporting and requests for downloads.

The CCTV Code of Practice is quite clear that regular reviews should be undertaken, to ensure that the use of a surveillance camera system remains in pursuit of a legitimate aim and there is a pressing need for its use. However, this should not be confused with the need for CCTV for building, property and staff safety, where a service is provided such as Careline, and the use of cameras in car parks and for environmental reasons, such as Bobbingworth former landfill site.

The following sites will be considered for potential decommissioning based on the last two years of service and other factors such as reduction of service requirement;

1. Borders Lane (Loughton) 2. Coopersale (Parklands shopping) (Epping)

It is important to note that if these sites are decommissioned, it will be because the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Risk factors if the systems are decommissioned include the possibility that:

 Crime and disorder & anti-social behaviour may increase  Incidents will not be captured

7

 There may be a potential rise of fear in the local community  There may be a loss of public confidence

There is no hard and fast evidence to support that these areas have a very low crime rate because of the deterrent value provided by the presence of the CCTV. However, where a mobile CCTV unit has been introduced to an area in the past, results have shown a significant reduction in ASB, but on its removal, the problem has returned.

Partnerships with Local Councils

As with the CCTV Consultancy section above, part of the Council’s CCTV Strategy is, subject to staffing capacity, to utilise the expertise of the District Council’s small CCTV Team to assist parish and local councils with both advice and support, on an “at-cost” consultancy basis, with the installation and renewal of CCTV systems on land their land and buildings in their localities.

In addition, the District Council will consider requests from local councils to link their existing or future systems in to the District Council’s CCTV network. The District Council will also consider requests from local councils to include the repair and servicing of their CCTV systems as part of the District Council’s Annual Servicing Agreements.

Further to this, officers will investigate opportunities to provide CCTV services on behalf of other District Council’s to maximise income generation and reduce overheads.

Out of Hours Response

The Council operates a low-cost, but resilient, approach to emergency call-out requests from the Police to locate, download and provide CCTV footage to assist the Police with criminal investigations.

In the first instance, one of our three members of the CR team trained in undertaking this specialist role is contacted out of hours. Since the team does not operate on a formal standby basis there may be an occasion where no-one is available to respond. If this is the case, one of two Council- approved contractors will be contacted to undertake this role.

Financial Forecasting

The Financial Forecast Table on pages 10/11 shows the approximate costs and estimated dates to replace the CCTV systems at each site. New advances in technology is always explored to identify cost savings where possible when reviewing replacement equipment.

From 2020, Analogue CCTV will no longer be in service and the Council is already addressing this issue, by replacing parts of analogue systems as they fail, with new technology such as ‘AHD’ or HD Turbo. Apart from ensuring that the Council is ready for the future IP or HD systems which will be the standard in 2020, this is helping to make a significant reduction in the number of cameras requiring full replacement at the end of their lifetime also known as ‘meantime before failure’ and has the added benefit that higher quality images are recorded than with old, analogue equipment.

It is also important to note, that although cameras and equipment are expected to last approximately 7 years, this is not always the case and does not mean that a full replacement will be required. With good maintenance and planning, it is evident that systems can last longer than expected provided they continue to meet the fit for purpose criteria set out in our code of practice for CCTV.

8

Staffing Capacity

The staffing capacity for the operation of the Council’s CCTV systems has not increased despite significant expansion of our CCTV. Although site and camera numbers have amplified considerably and the new organisational structure has had some impact, service levels will remain unaffected.

As can be seen from the Financial Forecast Table on pages 10/11, the expected lifespan of each of the cameras and associated systems varies greatly across the CCTV sites, therefore necessitating ongoing monitoring, cleaning and repair, in addition to the annual maintenance contract which is carried out by an external company.

Although the majority of CCTV replacements are on land held in the General Fund, some of the replacements are on land held in the Housing Revenue Account (HRA - e.g. sheltered housing schemes and the Homeless Persons Hostel). Therefore, the Funding Plan below differentiates between the capital and revenue funding required by the HRA and the General Fund. We have also split any expenditure relating to Car Parks in the General Fund.

It should be noted that the forecasts within the Funding Plan do not allow for inflationary increase in costs. The future planned budget for capital expenditure has been prepared on a standstill basis, as technological advances in CCTV equipment result in many cases in a more efficient use of resources.

It is important to note that although the Financial Forecast Table is used to inform the Funding Plan, an assessment will be made of those systems coming towards the end of their expected life to ensure that actual replacements/renewals are prioritised in the order of greatest need, and that renewals are only undertaken when they are actually required.
