Area-wide security cameras (CCTV & ANPR)

Area-wide security cameras (CCTV & ANPR)

This significant project has enhanced security on Manor Royal Business District, completed thanks to a collaboration between the Manor Royal BID, Sussex Police and West Sussex County Council.

A combination of CCTV and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras are positioned at strategic locations to give enhanced coverage and security across the area.  

The project was initiated in 2015 by the Manor Royal BID in response to feedback that security was a priority for businesses. While Manor Royal does not suffer from high levels of reported crime compared to other similar areas, the lack of area-wide security measures has been a concern given the number of businesses on Manor Royal and its proximity to Gatwick Airport. 

 

Monitored 24/7, these cameras make Manor Royal a ‘harder target’ for criminal activity and will complement Manor Royal Business Watch.  The data collected can be used by intelligence teams to collect patterns of movement of suspect vehicles, enabling the police to target known offenders.  Their vehicles can be monitored in real time and police resources can be intelligently deployed to make an intervention if needed.   Where a crime is reported, the investigation teams may also use the data collected to identify any suspect through the use of advanced analytical products.  

Manor Royal BID and Sussex Police have a strong partnership approach to crime prevention and reduction and both parties are serious in their intent to work together to prevent and detect crime.   This ground-breaking project has been looked at by other consortiums as a model for successful partnership working with the police.  It was funded by contributions from the BID levy and a grant of £250,000 from West Sussex County Council’s Kick Start funding scheme.
