With the increasing use of private security cameras and the tremendous value of digital evidence in solving crimes, the Wilmington Police Department is excited to provide a new secure and confidential option for members of the public to share video or photo evidence related to crimes that might occur in their neighborhoods.
 
Whether related to a package theft, motor vehicle accident, car theft or suspicious activity - or any other crime - privately-owned residential and commercial video cameras often capture footage that can assist investigators.
 
Police are inviting members of the public to use our new online video portal to securely submit video and photo evidence, which can be uploaded confidentially through Axon and Evidence.com.
 
You can learn more and share files today by visiting www.WilmingtonDE.gov/Footage.
 
“On a daily basis, residents and businesses support our investigations by submitting video and photo evidence gleaned from their privately-owned security cameras,” said Chief Wilfredo Campos. “We are excited to announce this new portal, which will make it even easier and more convenient for the public to send in footage of something that might occur in their neighborhood.”
 
To share video or photo files with police:

• Visit www.WilmingtonDE.gov/Footage
• Fill out the web-based form, with details about the date, time and block (i.e. 900 block of Main Street) where the footage was captured, as well as a description of what was observed. You will be required to provide your name and an email address where we can send you a link for secure uploading.
• You will receive an email directly from Axon and Evidence.com, which will have a link that you can use to securely and confidentially share files with police (Note: this will be a single-use link unique to you, and will be sent from “[email protected]”)

Each photo and video that is submitted will be reviewed by a member of our Technical Resource Unit.
 
Please note that submitting video or photo files through this platform is not a replacement for the process of filing a police report if you are the victim of a crime. Patrol officers and investigators who respond to a call for service can facilitate the submission of video or photo files as part of their investigation.
 
The department will evaluate this pilot program over the coming months to determine its effectiveness, and will work to improve upon this platform and explore additional options with some of our software partners in the future.
