Perth & Kinross Council - Parking Attendants
Perth & Kinross Council Parking Attendants have been issued with individual body-worn CCTV Recording devices.
The use of this equipment is to both deter and provide evidence in dealing with incidents involving the Health & Safety of Council Parking Attendants or to address complaints from the public concerning failure to deliver appropriate customer service.
The equipment will provide corroborative evidence of verbal abuse or threatening behaviour towards these employees as well as a record, while they are carrying out their duties, of any direct contact with members of the public which may subsequently be subject to dispute.
The equipment has been supplied by SCS Security Services, Arran Road, Perth. SCS is a local company which specialises in the supply and maintenance of communications, CCTV and security systems to Police Forces, Local Authorities, retail operators and security companies, both nationwide and internationally.
The equipment has been developed to meet Home Office and Data Protection Commissioner Guidelines with regard to encryption and access control. The back office software allows access only to authorised administrators and provides an audit trail for access, management and redistribution of any evidential footage. the recordings are admissable in Court proceedings due to the high security involved in the processing of the data.
The back office software is set to automatically delete recordings after 21 days (by default). If any recording needs to be kept (Police interest/investigation or official customer complaints) then it can be marked for retention and then deleted at a later date after any investigations are completed.
Perth and Kinross Council remains committed to using proactive measures to ensure the well-being and safety of its employees. Council employees should not be subjected to either physical or verbal abuse while carrying out their duties and this equipment should deter individuals from engaging in this type of behaviour. Evidence of such behaviour may be passed to Tayside Police with a view to prosecution.
