We own and maintain 19 CCTV cameras throughout the town. These are managed under a contract and within a partnership arrangement of West Cornwall CCTV along with St Ives and Hayle Town Councils.
The system is operated under a code of practice which is regularly reviewed to ensure compliance with legislation and guidance, such as human rights and data protection legislation.
Anyone wishing to make a Subject Access Request for footage in which their personal data is captured can complete this form: CCTV Subject Access Request Form
Advice for the requester can be found here: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/getting-copies-of-your-information-subject-access-request/
Under the umbrella of Safer Cornwall, we work in partnership with Safer Penzance to tackle the impacts of crime, alcohol, drugs and anti-social behaviour in our community.
We took decisive action to secure the future of our Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Caseworker after Cornwall Council reported it was unable to continue to provide the same level of funding for the post – we now cover 80% of the costs for the post.
Any Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) incidents should be reported to Devon and Cornwall Police by calling 101 or online: Report antisocial behaviour | Devon & Cornwall Police (devon-cornwall.police.uk)
