Another local OPP detachment has joined CAMSafe.
Grey Bruce OPP has joined the security camera database service. CAMSafe provides police a database of residential and commercial security cameras within a community that may act as a resource for police when investigating offences/crime.
Residents or business owners who have security cameras can voluntarily sign up for the service, which simply logs basic contact information and camera location but can include more details if desired, such as the direction the camera faces, footage retention details or screenshots of the camera view.
Registrants can only view their own information and can delete their account or change their information at any time.
The service does not allow police access to camera feeds. If police wish to potentially access any footage from a registered camera, they can quickly see if any cameras are registered in a particular area of interest and ask the property owner to inspect footage that may help solve a crime.
