Riverside Police Begin Security Camera Registration Program

Do you currently have video surveillance at your home or business?  If you do, we'd like to hear from you. 
Video surveillance is one of the best methods for identifying criminals and apprehending suspects.  Installing video surveillance is a great example of community-police partnerships and is something we highly value as a police agency serving our community.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 
The Riverside Police Department is committed to our partnership with residents and business owners. Many business owners and residents currently operate surveillance systems at their businesses and/or homes.  As crimes occur nearby, they are not always aware that their system may have captured information that could help solve the crime.  In turn, the police are also not always aware who may have this potentially vital information.
The Police Department is asking residents and businesses to register their privately owned camera systems.  As the Police Department responds to criminal incidents in our community, we may be able to use the information or footage gathered from the security cameras to assist in the
apprehension and prosecution of the criminals involved. 
 
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF REGISTERING YOUR CAMERA?
By registering, the police department can quickly identify nearby cameras that may have captured criminal activity. After registering your camera, you would only be contacted by the Riverside Police Department if there is a criminal incident in the vicinity of your security camera.  Police personnel, if necessary, may request to view your camera footage in order to assist in the investigation.  Make Riverside an undesirable place for criminals to commit crime and help keep your entire community safe!
