Additionally, the successful interventions in parking lots combined CCTV with other interventions such as better lighting and increased security personnel. They also note that the crime control benefits in city centers, where CCTV is frequently used in the U.
They also recommend that departments think about the use of mobile CCTV units that could be redeployed to high crime areas identified by crime analysts. La Vigne and colleagues 1 provide 10 lessons for creating a public surveillance system. They are:. Assess your needs and budget before investing 2.
Plan ahead for maintenance, infrastructure, and other ongoing costs 3. Establishing framework agreements between the various policing agencies that will be directly affected by the CCTV systems may improve collaboration and buy-in. The installation of CCTV systems without an adequate long-term plan and budget provisions could be a considerable governance risk for the entire city government and could result in a significant decline in public confidence.
At the time there was considerable optimism that these systems would result in significant crime reductions and arrests of offenders. A key aspect was that agreements were struck that made practical provisions for the metro police to collaborate with the South African Police Services SAPS , particularly with respect to responding to crime incidents identified on the CCTV systems. Over the years, however, city authorities have taken a more central role in introducing, managing and upgrading CCTV systems geared towards crime prevention.
Nonetheless, these developments have mostly taken place on a unilateral basis, which has resulted in South African cities having different levels of CCTV coverage, capability and capacity. To date there appears to have been very little discussion between city authorities about the use of CCTV, as well as experiences and lessons identified from individual cities. As of April the City of Cape Town reported that it had access to a total of 1, cameras, as well as access to privately registered CCTV cameras [14].
There is a dedicated Camera Response Unit that has been created to respond to actual and potential safety, security and emergency incidents [15]. It was reported in that the monitoring of CCTV footage by the Metro Police resulted in the opening of an average of 29 criminal cases [16]. In Hanover Park, which is renowned for gang violence, CCTV has been linked to ShotSpotter, which is a system developed in the US that draws on a series of specialised sensors in order to pinpoint the location of gunshot incidents and then relays this information to law enforcement officials in terms of a mapping interface [17].
However, there is a lack of a solid working partnership between the metro police and SAPS in relation to the monitoring and response to CCTV incidents. When the system was fully operational it was estimated that it took police an average of 60 seconds to respond to incidents on the ground [18]. As of city authorities had responsibility for some cameras, but the Chief of the Johannesburg Metro Police Department, David Tembe, reported in August that only of these CCTV cameras were in working order due to vandalism, power failures and damage to fibre cables by construction companies.
Furthermore, Tembe indicated that the CCTV system did not cover key crime hotspots, and was not adequately linked to metro police that were on patrol [19]. However, there is a major upgrade and expansion of the CCTV system being currently underway, with new cameras being introduced that have both licence plate and facial recognition technology and can rotate degrees [20].
In addition, a private telecommunications company is currently operating 1, cameras in 48 suburbs of Johannesburg, and is planning to install up to 15, CCTV cameras throughout Johannesburg and plans to make their cameras available to accredited private security companies, the metro police and SAPS at a fee [21]. This development, however, had led to civil society organisations raising concerns about the privacy implications of a commercial company collecting and selling CCTV footage for profit without the consent of those being filmed [22].
The City of Tshwane, which reportedly has responsibility for some CCTV cameras, has also had acute problems with damaged and dysfunctional CCTV cameras, mainly due to adverse weather and vandalism [23]. There have also reportedly been challenges with regards to the service provider responsible for managing the CCTV system not adequately maintaining the cameras and monitoring the footage from the cameras [24].
