Community Camera Program
THE PROGRAM
Do you have private video surveillance cameras at your home or business? If you do, the Ord Police Department would like to hear from you. Video surveillance cameras are a great tool for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects who are caught in the act of committing a crime.
The Ord Police Department is asking residents and business owners throughout Ord to register their privately owned surveillance camera systems. As officers respond to criminal incidents, they may be able to use footage gathered from the security cameras to help apprehend and prosecute people involved.
You would only be contacted if there is a criminal incident in the vicinity of your camera. The Ord Police Department may ask to view your camera footage to assist with an investigation. Information provided to the Police Department regarding your camera system will be for official use only. Your personal information will remain confidential except as required by law. If needed, you would agree to provide a copy of the video file for further investigation and evidence.
Our goal is to empower the residents by taking a community wide approach to policing. We hope that you will join us in this initiative and help protect the community we all care about.
