VIRTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

Surveillance Camera Registration

  Do you currently have video surveillance at your home or business?  If so, we would like you to sign up for our Harper Woods Virtual Neighborhood Watch.  Video surveillance is one of the best methods to apprehend and convict suspects in the act of committing crimes. Installing video surveillance is an excellent step toward helping to secure and protect your home and / or business, but it can also help the police protect your neighborhood.

How does it work?

  The Harper Woods Department of Public Safety is always working hard to have a committed partnership with the residents / businesses throughout our community.  Many residents and business owners operate surveillance systems and could be a part of our Virtual Neighborhood Watch.  As crimes occur, some residents / businesses are not always aware their system may have captured information that could help solve the crime and keep our community safer.  In addition, police are not always aware who may have this potentially vital information.

  

The Harper Woods Department of Public Safety is asking for all residents and businesses to register their own surveillance camera systems with the Harper Woods Department of Public Safety.  If an incident occurs in the vicinity of your camera system, you will be contacted by the Harper Woods Department of Public Safety and we will request that you review your video to determine if there is any valuable information.  There is no requirement to give access to your video system to the police department and this is a 100% volunteer program!

What are the benefits of registering your camera?

  By registering, the Harper Woods Department of Public Safety can quickly identify nearby cameras that may have captured any criminal activity.  You would only be contacted by the Harper Woods Department of Public Safety if there is an incident in the vicinity of your security camera.  The Harper Woods Department of Public Safety, if necessary, may request that you review your camera footage to assist in the investigation and determine if any part of the incident was captured by your video.  If any crime in your area occurs, your video may be the only thing to help identify a suspect or a suspect vehicle that was used during the crime.

Registration

  To register your video surveillance and allow officers/detectives to contact you, should an incident occur in or near where your cameras are installed, please fill out the form below.  Any information submitted will be sent directly to the Harper Woods Department of Public Safety and will not be shared.  Again, this is a 100% volunteer program and you may cancel at any time.
