A descriptive review of the use of CCTV in Flemish Municipalities

Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk

The use of CCTV-surveillance by Flemish municipalities is increasing. A newspaper analysis, complemented with other information gives a first indication about the developments in this field and shows an evolution in the implementation of CCTV in Flemish municipalities. In the beginning CCTV was used to protect spots where public services are delivered. In a next phase, a reduced number of Flemish municipalities turned to CCTV to protect public spaces. Thereafter, a highly reduced number of cities and municipalities started searching for more advanced CCTV-systems, in view of combatting certain specific phenomena. In this phase, the demand is more likely to come from local police forces that increasingly turn to policing methods inspired by the the policing concept of 'nodal orientation' for it. At last phase consist of a reduced number of municipalities in search of cooperation and integration of CCTV-systems, mostly for traffic management purposes (use of ANPR systems).
