| CAM-MAP WA – State CCTV Register |
|
| The WA Police Force have launched an internet-based register known as CAM-MAP WA to identify public CCTV camera locations across WA. |
|
The register will provide the WA Police Force with technological advantage to enhance its capability to respond to and investigate criminal activity and increase operational responsiveness to emergency situations and critical incidents. The collection, use and storage of CCTV images and footage from the register will be governed by strict guidelines and procedures to ensure it is only used for its intended purpose.
Local Governments are able to record their contact details and the location of public facing CCTV infrastructure on the CAM-MAP WA register.
To date, 44 Local Governments have registered. Local Governments which have not registered are encouraged to do so on the WA Police Force website. |
