The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has CCTV cameras installed at selected sites around the UK.
All cameras are installed for the security of staff, visitors and contractors at MCA sites for the protection of MCA properties.
Internal cameras are used:
- for the monitoring of secure areas of buildings
- to provide additional security within our buildings
External cameras are used:
- to enhance building and site protection inside and outside of normal working hours
All footage is deleted after 30 days unless there is an overriding reason to be retained. Footage will not be shared outside MCA except in limited circumstances such as where it is necessary to make a disclosure to the police.
