On the 24th October the National CCTV Conference was held at the Thistle Hotel in Glasgow. This was hosted by the Scottish Community Safety Network that facilitates the Scottish CCTV Practioners’ Group. The aim of the conference was to bring together 120 delegates from the private and statutory sectors who have a strategic role in the management and maintenance of CCTV systems in Scotland.
The programme of the conference had been designed in consultation with the Scottish CCTV Practioners’ Group, so it delivered relevant and topical seminars and conversations.
