COPS APPEAL FOR MONITORS [reports the Derby Evening Telegraph]
Police are looking for volunteers to help keep them in the frame by monitoring the streets of Ilkeston and Erewash.

[Too mean to pay wages for their snoopers Derbyshire plod issued the following "plea"]

People are being sought to operate the towns' CCTV cameras to help with crime reduction and information gathering.

They will work in conjunction with police officers, PCSOs, members of the county and groups such as ShopWatch and PubWatch.

Derbyshire police said volunteers would be expected to undergo security checks and take part in at least 20 hours of training but that there would not be a minimum hours of service requirement.

...best use a public call box, and preferably one that isn't overseen by CCTV.
