CCTV

Our CCTV system is made up of cameras around Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole. Some of these are fixed, while others can zoom in, pan and tilt. All images go to our CCTV Control Room.

By using CCTV we aim to:

  • help detect crime by providing evidence in criminal proceedings
  • prevent and reduce crime, public disorder and anti-social behaviour
  • help the police track and capture people suspected of committing crime
  • help identify witnesses
  • support Dorset Police and the Safer and Stronger Communities partnership’s 'Make Dorset Safer' campaign
  • help improve the town
  • help improve traffic management
