Details

In his report the commissioner highlights:

  • his extensive survey of all police forces in England and Wales to understand their surveillance camera ‘footprint’ and how they are complying with legal requirements under the Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) and the surveillance camera code. All forces now have a Senior Responsible Officer responsible for force compliance with the PoFA
  • building momentum behind the National Surveillance Camera Strategy for England and Wales
  • the emergence of automatic facial recognition as a viable technology used by both state and private organisations
