Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan Howe says “CCTV cameras should be installed by homeowners and businesses to help detectives solve crimes.”

Britain’s most senior policeman, Commissioner Bernard Hogan Howe also said “that homeowners must make efforts to install equipment properly to avoid undermining inquiries.”

When the Metropolitan Police Commissioner was asked if business and home owners needed to make greater use of CCTV cameras he said yes, adding: “We’ve got a strategy to encourage people when installing their cameras, that is to move them down to eye level.”

He said: “Over the last year as facial recognition software has got better we can apply the software to the images of burglaries or robberies and we can compare those images with the images we take when we arrest people.”
