Question No: 2024/3773
Question (Thomas Turrell AM): 21st November 2024
Can the footage from the ANPR cameras used to enforce ULEZ be used by the Police to help tackle vehicle theft in Outer London?
Answer (Sadiq Khan): 26th November 2024
Currently, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) can place a request to Transport for London (TfL) for data from TfL’s ULEZ ANPR enforcement cameras to assist them with investigating crime.
Following my Mayoral Decision 2977, TfL and the MPS are working together to consider a request by the MPS for access to a direct live feed from a limited number of ANPR enforcement cameras. Any access will have to be considered proportionate and necessary, for the purposes of the prevention and detection of crime.
