Garfield Ridge Neighborhood Watch is encouraging residents and local businesses to participate in the Chicago Police Department's Camera Registration Program, a free and voluntary initiative designed to help law enforcement investigate crimes and keep our neighborhoods safer.
When a crime occurs, Chicago Police officers and detectives often search the surrounding area for security camera footage that may provide valuable evidence.
By registering your home or business security camera with CPD, you're helping officers identify potential sources of video footage that could assist with an investigation.
Registration does not give police access to your cameras. Instead, it simply allows CPD to contact you if a crime occurs nearby and your camera may have captured something useful.
It's important for residents to understand that:
Whether you have a doorbell camera, outdoor security cameras, or a surveillance system at your business, your participation could help provide valuable information during a neighborhood investigation.
Register your camera through the Chicago Police Department's official registration website:
