A UNION is urging Police Scotland to intervene to help restore 24-hour CCTV monitoring across Glasgow.
In early 2023, councillors approved the decision to reduce the number of staff monitoring cameras from 18 to nine and have cameras not fully monitored 24 hours a day, with the cuts to CCTV monitoring being phased in from September last year.that city centre residents fear the decision is"leaving a large gap in authorities' ability to monitor and take action on crime".
"Reinstating monitoring around the clock will instantly make streets safer and offer reassurance to the people of Glasgow shaken by these cutbacks."The CCTV cameras still record 24 hours a day, with the council saying the cameras are left positioned on"priority locations" during the hours they are not monitored.
"The ability of trained staff to expertly monitor and immediately respond to events unfolding on CCTV is crucial for the emergency services.
