NEARLY four years ago Sgt Aaron Ward and PC Matthew Kingdon embarked on a project to bring a fit for purpose CCTV to Launceston Town.

The idea was born out of the public's perception that Launceston was an unsafe place to frequent. After many engagement initiatives by the officers and local newspapers it became apparent that over 79 per cent of those spoken too felt CCTV would increase community safety whilst cutting crime and the fear of crime.
