CCTV Control Room Operator Job Description – Part One
CCTV Control Room Operator Job Description – Part One
I was asked around the middle of last year whether I had a job description that a client could use. Given that the one’s I had were all old and didn’t reflect recent technology and risk focused changes, I thought I’d develop a new one that I thought was relevant to the industry and that anyone can use. I spent some time thinking of how to make it available and finally decided to do it on LinkedIn. I’m sharing it publicly as open source for people to use, adjust, comment on or for simple discussion. You may well have different ideas or changes, but share your views and lets see if we can build on this. Its free for public or corporate use and please note I’m not legally liable for any use or implementation of this job description. I’ve divided it into parts, where part one outlines the Purpose of the Job, and Qualities of the Operator. Part two will provide the job activities that make up the job description.
