Neighborhood Surveillance Camera Registration

Would you like to help solve crime in your neighborhood?

The Brighton Police Department is forming a community partnership where all residents and businesses that have cameras on their property can register them with the police department.

Video cameras are increasingly being used in both residential and commercial properties to prevent crime. As such, video surveillance has become extremely helpful in solving crimes, identifying perpetrators, and serves as valuable evidence in court.

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. Many times the best available video evidence isn’t of the crime itself, but of pathways and streets leading into and out of the scene.

Participation in this partnership is completely voluntary. All registered information will be kept confidential and will only be viewed by Brighton Police Department personnel. Brighton Police Department will not monitor your cameras. This is strictly to be used as an investigative tool to aide officers and detectives.

If you are interested in participating in this community partnership with Brighton Police Department, please fill out the form and click submit.
