How we'll respond
We'll deal with your request within one calendar month. If we can give you the footage you've asked for well send you a DVD.
We can refuse your request if sharing the footage will put a criminal investigation at risk.
If the footage relates to a crime and the police have the footage, they'll tell you if you can see it.
If you want footage of a road traffic collision, your insurance company will have to request it.
Why we have CCTV cameras
CCTV is an important tool in reducing crime. It's used by the Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership for the prevention and detection of crime.
