A CCTV hub that keeps a watchful eye over Sunderland to protect people in the city has moved to a new home.
The City Alarm and Emergency Centre is a vital resource in helping the emergency services and Sunderland City Council to tackle crime and help find vulnerable people. With CCTV cameras all over Sunderland, staff at the centre are able to monitor everything going on in the city 24/7 to help keep people safe from harm as they go about their day.
The team is able to provide surveillance of hotspot areas and issues relating to crime and disorder, including antisocial behaviour, drug, alcohol misuse and shoplifting. It also monitors pubs, taxi ranks, match day crowds, and concerts, as well as looking out for people in vulnerable situations.
