Video cameras are increasingly used in residential and commercial properties to prevent crime. As such, video surveillance has become extremely helpful in solving crimes, identifying perpetrators, and serving as valuable court evidence.
Police investigations frequently involve officers and/or detectives canvassing neighborhoods looking for cameras.
Knowing ahead of time where cameras are located greatly speeds investigations by allowing officers and/or detectives to prioritize where to begin looking for evidence. Often the best available video evidence isn’t of the crime itself, but of pathways and streets leading into and out of the scene.
In an effort to continue our commitment to providing excellent police services, the Lakewood Police Department is forming a community partnership so that all residents and businesses with cameras on their property can register with the department.
Participation in this partnership is entirely voluntary. All registered information will be kept confidential and viewed by authorized Lakewood Police Department personnel. We are not asking and will not monitor your cameras. This is strictly used as an investigative tool to aid officers and detectives.
