Camera Registry
Video surveillance is one of the methods for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects who are caught in the act of committing a crime. The Cherry Hills Village Police Department Camera Registry is a notable example of community-police partnerships and is highly valued in serving our community.
How does it work?
The Camera Registry allows residents and business owners to share locations and capabilities of their security camera systems with Cherry Hills Village Police Department. Using this information, when a crime occurs, our department will know the locations of nearby video cameras and be able to collect video evidence and follow up on leads. The Camera Registry is completely voluntary, and you can withdraw from the program at any time. You can manage your registration through the profile you make upon registration.
What are the benefits?
Because criminals are caught in the act of committing the crime, video surveillance is one of the best methods to identify 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, Law Enforcement is not always aware of who may have potentially vital video evidence. By partnering with us, Officers can quickly identify nearby cameras that may have captured criminal activity. Cherry Hills Village Police Department will only contact you if there is a criminal incident near your security camera and we believe viewing your video footage will assist in the investigation.
