The various guidance includes:

  • guidance on assessing whether a CCTV system is fit for purpose
  • procedures and guidance for police when retrieving video and image evidence from digital CCTV systems
  • guidance on the processes involved in the handling of digital images for police applications
  • UK police requirements for digital systems

The National Police Chief’s Council have also produced a framework for video based evidence and a standard for Digital Evidence Management systems (DEMs).

The retrieval and processing of CCTV or VSS evidence is now incorporated in the Forensic Science Regulator’s statutory code of practice.
