The community-based CCTV Scheme was launched in 2005 to provide financial assistance to qualifying local organisations towards meeting the capital costs associated with the establishment of a local community CCTV system. To date two major rounds of funding have been advertised, in 2005/6 and 2007 seeking applications from interested groups.

The current position is that all available funding provided under the previous two rounds has been fully allocated and there are currently no plans to further extend the Scheme. However, the matter will continue to be kept under review in the context of overall policy considerations and the availability of funding.
