Hoping to catch some of the success seen in municipalities across the country, the Jamestown Police Department on Monday announced it is establishing a security camera registry.
The program will give police access to a list of participating residents and business owners with cameras. The registry is voluntary and, according to Chief Timothy Jackson, allows officers “to be more efficient” during investigations whereas such searches for potential video following crimes currently require door-to-door canvasses.
JPD noted in a statement Monday that registering a security camera would not give the department live access or access to review previously recorded footage without a member of the department first making contact.
