Police pull £75k funding on Derry CCTV system

The PSNI have pulled funding for CCTV cameras in several parts of the North of Ireland due to budget shortfalls.

In Derry City and Strabane District Council area, the figure is £75,000 and this will end later this month on Sunday, March 31.

Police Derry City and Strabane Area Commander, Chief Superintendent Gillian Kearney, said it was “regrettable” and the result of financial pressures facing the police.

She told the BBC’s North West Today programme said: “We recognise the value of CCTV, and the reassurance they can bring to the community.

“However, it is impossible to ignore the challenges facing the wider police service in terms of budget and resources.

“The reality is the strategic outlook for policing remains stark. The police budget remains insufficient and is not sustainable.

“Difficult decisions have had to be taken to preserve core function.

“Unfortunately, the ability to contribute towards funding of city centre CCTV in Derry City & Strabane, as well as in other districts across the police service, is an example of this.”

In a statement, Derry City and Strabane District Council said: “The loss of any funding always puts additional pressures on services, and council will continue to work with partners to try to secure the resources needed to make up the deficit for the coming year.

“Once again we would like to stress the need for government to provide the necessary support to help Councils and the PSNI protect community safety, whether through CCTV or the Community Safety Warden team who play an integral role in maintaining public order and keeping people safe.”
