GAZETTE & HERALD: Professional staff may be used to monitor the CCTV system in Calne town centre.
At present, the system is monitored by volunteers but they are often unavailable to work unsociable hours.
A crucial time is on Friday and Saturday nights between 10am and 3am but there is a lack of volunteers to man the system during these periods.
Calne Town Council is looking at three options to improve the situation.
These are to recruit a professional security company; hire a supervisor for the existing volunteer system or keep the present system in which volunteers are managed by community development officer Mark Wilkins.
At a meeting last week the council decided to form a working group to look at the problem.
Sergeant Nic Shorten told councillors: "At the moment I don't always know who is monitoring the cameras or if they are being monitored at all."
