In this day and age, video camera footage is helping us solve more and more crime. The great part about it is you can help. How? Well there's a couple ways. The first is you can register your home or business cameras with us. All you have to do is answer a few questions about your security camera system and let us know where they are mounted. This allows us the opportunity to reach out to you quickly in the event an incident occurs nearby. This does not allow for us to access your system. It simply lets us know a camera system exists in a certain area. It does not replace officers from canvassing the area for cameras, but instead helps us get to you quicker, and to the footage before it's lost or purged.

The second way is to actually integrate your camera system with us. By giving us limited access and certain permissions, we can tap into your camera feed in an emergency. This requires purchasing a piece of equipment and allows us to access whatever cameras you decide to grant us access to.

You can imagine how better able we are to respond to a call for service, have eyes on while enroute, or follow the trail after a crime has occurred; ultimately leading to an arrest.
