Security Camera Registry
The Security Camera Registry is a community-based crime prevention opportunity and investigative resource that enlists the help of Chatham-Kent residents.
Police are encouraging community members to register their residential video surveillance, including security cameras and doorbell cameras.
Identified addresses will be mapped on a database of surveillance camera locations for officers to quickly and effectively direct resources when investigating criminal offences in those neighbourhoods.
Registry can be done through a simple, secure, confidential, online form located on the Chatham-Kent Police Service website.
Police assure that the program is entirely voluntary and no one would be forced to hand over any footage in the event of a crime. The list of registered properties is kept confidential and only the police will have access to it.
