Our £5.4m investment has grown our CCTV network to nearly 2,000 cameras over the last two years.
It's the densest network anywhere in the country, helping us to make H&F a safer, kinder, stronger borough every day.
Met Police Chief Inspector Thomas Orchard said:
The work between the Met and H&F to address crime and anti-social behaviour is an essential and valued partnership. With H&F's investment in CCTV we all benefit from a great network and vast coverage with experienced officers working side-by-side."
The cameras are focused on anti-social behaviour, noise and fly-tipping hotspots, which are actively monitored by our trained CCTV operators 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Now, we've expanded our reach even further across west London with an agreement with Westminster City Council.
In the partnership deal, H&F officers are now monitoring 100 new cameras in residential areas across Westminster. The new cameras were funded by Westminster at no cost to H&F taxpayers.
"Keeping residents safe is a key priority for us at H&F," said Cllr Rebecca Harvey, H&F Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion and Community Safety. "Our pioneering CCTV network means we can prevent and tackle crime across borough boundaries."
Not only does this deal with Westminster allow us greater ability to invest in our own CCTV network, it also helps the Met Police respond to crime and anti-social behaviour reports that occur in the wider west London area.
Our CCTV footage has helped police arrest hundreds of people committing crimes. H&F continues to lead the charge, having invested more than £8m in community safety initiatives last year to ensure our borough is a safer, stronger, kinder borough to live in, work and visit.
