Are You Compliant?

Don't Risk Your CCTV Evidence Being Challenged or Discredited In Court

01

Protection of Freedoms Act

If you're a Local Authority or police service and operating public space CCTV, you have a lawful duty to comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) 2012.

03

Savvy Defence Counsel

Did you know, if you provide CCTV evidence to police for prosecutions in Court, a savvy defence counsel could ask to have that evidence disregarded because those that captured the evidence don't comply with the 'Protection of Freedoms Act 2012' ? 

02

Non-Compliance

It's a fact that almost half of the UK's public space CCTV services that are required to be compliant with PoFA 2012 are currently not fully compliant with the legislation.

04

The Right Thing To Do

We are the most highly respected, experienced and knowledgeable CCTV group in the UK. If you are a 'Relevant Authority' we can support you to become a fully compliant operator of CCTV; not only is it a legal requirement,  it's the right thing to do!
