1. This information is exempt under section 35(1)(a) of FOISA: the prevention or detection of crime. The public interest test has been considered and it is understood that some information is already in the public domain; however, to give further specifics would be detrimental to the effectiveness of the Public Space camera. Nonetheless we can confirm:

Public Space CCTV cameras are owned and maintained by Moray Council. They are located in: Buckie, Elgin, Forres, Keith and Lossiemouth. These cameras are monitored and operated by Police Scotland. www.moray.gov.uk/CCTV

2. The open space CCTV cameras operated by Moray Council and monitored by Police Scotland are on a maintenance contract.
