Businesses throughout Huntingdon, St Ives and St Neots are now using this contemporary updated radio system with great success.

Here are some of the ways the radio is used to make Huntingdonshire towns safer places to live, work and shop:

• reduce suspected retail/business theft
• relay information about the presence of potential/actual __offenders
• summon rapid response in acts of violence and anti-social __behaviour
• highlight specific incidents e.g. forged notes, bag snatchers
• track/find lost children

The individual towns have the radio talk facility unique to their own radio frequency. All three towns link to their own dedicated radio at the town CCTV provided by Huntingdonshire District Council.
