4. ASSESSMENTS

The assessment procedures have been divided into the following categories

. Pre Overt CCTV Operational Assessments

. Tape Analysis

. Post Overt CCTV Operational Assessment

4.1 Pre Overt CCTV Operational Assessment

This is the first stage of assessment and relates to an incident report identifying that criminal activity, anti-social behaviour or an offence against the Motor Omnibus Services Act 1955 has occurred.

A copy of the report is at attachment A.

The report can be completed by any of the following:

. Bus Operator

. ACTION employee

. any member of the public who witnesses an incident occurring.

4.2 Tape Analysis

On receipt of a completed incident report form, the Authorised Officer shall extract the video tape from the bus or secure area and record it in a register. The video tape is then taken to a nominated secure area and viewed in the company of either the Executive Director or General Manager North/South or both.

In the event that no offence can be detected the tape is returned to the storage area where it is dealt with accordingly.

In the event that the tape is distorted in any way that it cannot positively give clear vision of an offence or that the AFP can not use the tape for further investigation the tape must be withdrawn, registered and destroyed by the Authorised Officer.

4.3 Post Overt CCTV Operational Assessment.

On viewing a video tape where a criminal activity, anti-social behaviour or an offence against the Motor Omnibus Services Act 1955 has occurred, the tape is to be stored separately in the secure storage area until presented to the AFP along with a registered copy of the incident report form.
