Enfield Public Safety Centre

The Enfield Public Safety Centre (EPSC) is a combined local authority closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring, traffic enforcement, video alarm and lone worker receiving centre. Based in Edmonton, the centre opened in May 2003 and is a purpose-built, high security BS5979 Category 2 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).

The centre monitors CCTV cameras 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and operates to strict guidelines around privacy and retention of images. It is regularly inspected to ensure it complies with these guidelines.

The EPSC also has the capacity to offer a full monitoring and response service. It monitors various types of alarms, including:

Intruder (building)
Personal attack (lone worker)
Careline (vulnerable persons)
Vehicles, both for internal and external clients to Enfield

The EPSC has aided the police in their investigations, enabling many arrests and providing vital evidence for trials and prosecutions.
