Closed circuit television (CCTV) is used in some public spaces across the Shire to reduce and prevent crime. CCTV footage can also help police to identify offenders if a crime takes place.
CCTV footage
The cameras send images to the Byron Police Station where the system can be monitored by the NSW Police, particularly in the event of an incident or at peak times.
The recorded images will only be used and/or disclosed for law enforcement or other lawful purposes. All recorded images that are not part of any ongoing police investigation or court proceeding, or not required for any other lawful reason, will be deleted after approximately 30 days.
