CCTV

The City’s public areas CCTV service has CCTV systems in a variety of public spaces throughout the City and operates these with the following aims:

• Deterring criminal, anti-social and suspicious activities
• Viewing and recording images of such activities in progress
• Assisting with the management of factors that create a fear of crime
• Supporting the investigations of authorised agencies, such as the WA Police, and providing them with images that can be used in prosecutions
• Assisting the City with event coordination, emergency management, traffic monitoring and other activities in public areas.

The City cooperates closely with the State Government and WA Police on strategies to ensure CCTV is implemented and utilised in an effective and responsible manner.

The City’s public areas CCTV systems focus only on publicly accessible spaces and do not record private properties or activities. All recorded CCTV footage is stored securely and is not available to the general public unless ordered by a legal ruling or granted under the Freedom of Information Act 1992.

City of Joondalup and WA Police Memorandum of Understanding

The MOU outlines the understanding that the City will share CCTV data with WA Police to further enhance the safety and security of the Western Australian community.
