Exploring how AI can enhance CCTV analysis to improve safety and operational efficiency across justice settings.

This work explores how AI-powered analysis of CCTV footage could support safer environments across prisons, courts, and other justice settings.

The focus is on understanding where automated monitoring and alerting can complement human oversight without introducing new risks.

What we are exploring

  • Automated detection of safety-critical incidents in custodial settings.
  • Reducing the volume of footage that requires manual review.
  • Understanding the ethical and legal implications of AI-assisted surveillance in justice contexts.

Long-term value

Smarter use of CCTV data can help protect both staff and those in custody, while freeing operational capacity currently spent on manual monitoring.
