COMMUNITY CAMERA PROGRAM

Do you currently utilize video surveillance at your home or business?
If you do, we would like to hear from you!

Video Surveillance is one of the best methods for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects who are caught in the act of committing a crime.  Installing video surveillance is a great crime prevention tool and can capture valuable information as well as deter crime.

How it works:
The Community Camera Program allows residents and business owners to register the address with the Warrenton Police Department.  With this information, the Warrenton Police Department will know the locations of nearby video cameras and be able to collect video evidence and follow up on leads.

Benefits:
Video surveillance is one of the best methods to catch suspects and convict them.  As crimes occur nearby, many residents and business owners are unaware that their camera systems may have captured information that could help solve a crime.  Likewise, police are not always aware of who may have potentially vital video surveillance.

Once your camera is registered, the Warrenton Police Department will contact you if a criminal incident occurred near your security camera and police believe viewing your video footage will assist in the investigation.
