Stratford-on-Avon District Council's highly acclaimed CCTV system has received the British Standard Accreditation, recognising good management and practice for the third year running;  making the District Councils CCTV system one of only a limited number provided by Councils to this standard.

Stratford-on-Avon District has one of the lowest crime rates in the county; however District residents are still concerned about crime and anti-social behaviour.  That is why one of the District Council's aims from the Corporate Strategy is A District where everyone shares in an improved quality of life with a priority of Fear of Crime and anti-social behaviour is reduced.  Residents have said that they want a low level of crime and the District Council has said that it will improve CCTV coverage and work with partners to reduce crime levels.

There are 90 cameras, installed at strategically positioned locations in Stratford, Shipston, Alcester, Southam, Bidford, Wellesbourne and Studley recording real time footage 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is then fed via optical fibre cabling back to the 24-hour monitoring centre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

British Standard 7958 is based on 120 criterion including effective evidential tape management, effective and regular staff audits and improved accountability.
