Eboracum, a security firm that provides security guarding, facilities management and community projects, is now certified against the Surveillance Camera Commissioner’s code of practice, which is intended to ensure the public that surveillance cameras are used to protect them, rather than spy on them.

 

Carl Nickson, director of Eboracum UK, said: “Although accreditation is voluntary, I feel that it is important to demonstrate a transparent and compliant approach to the use of CCTV.

 

 

“We are leading from the front as the first security company to achieve this accolade and I hope that others will follow.

 

 

“Achieving this accreditation outlines that even small-medium businesses can put privacy, compliance and transparency at the top of the agenda.”

 

 

Body worn CCTVs can help operatives collect useful information that can lead to successful prosecutions as well as deter assaults on staff, inhibit aggressive behaviour and prevent crime.
