Greater Manchester's Clean Air Zone cameras are helping catch criminals - but a police chief wants to go further
A Greater Manchester Police chief is calling for officers to be given full access to the network of cameras installed for enforcement of the Clean Air Zone .
This leads to bureaucracy and can cause delays to investigations, according to the CCTV & ANPR Manager for GMP, Inspector Jon Middleton. And says he would like to see a situation where data from the camera was fed directly into the police's systems. "The Clean Air Zone provides an opportunity. Obviously, I completely understand and respect that the fact that Clean Air Zone cameras were put up for a purpose, and that purpose wasn't policing or law enforcement."Myself as an ANPR manager for Greater Manchester Police, and I think by far the majority of operational officers, would love to have access to the data and information from those cameras because it would significantly increase our coverage of the roads.
"So more cameras means more information, more information means more opportunities, more info, better chance of convictions, arrests, stops, vehicle seizures, all these sorts of things. Mayor Andy Burnham said the scheme became 'unworkable' post-pandemic because Covid made the cost of upgrading to cleaner vehicles unaffordable. Local leaders are now calling for all charges to be scrapped, favouring an incentive-led scheme that they argue will be enough to lower pollution.
"Sharing resources in this way has already proved to be an impactful way of bringing those committing serious crimes to justice.” Insp Middleton said ANPR data from the force's own cameras is only kept for up to a year and after this officers have to apply to keep it for longer, with permission only being granted for the most serious crimes. Officers can also only search data relating to three months ago.
