Register Your Albany Security Cameras With Police

ALBANY, CA — Have you registered your home or business security cameras with the Albany Police Department?

When a crime happens, police often get suspect and vehicle information from security cameras. It takes time to go door-to-door to check for security footage, but if residents and businesses register with APD the process is speeded-up — officers request that you check your video for a certain date and time frame.

Registering with the police department does not give them access to your video — you still control it.

According to the police department, "Your personal information will be kept confidential by the Police Department and will only be accessed by law enforcement personnel who are conducting an investigation. You will only be contacted by the Albany Police Department in the future if there is a criminal incident in your neighborhood or in the vicinity of your security camera."

You may register online or call 510-559-4588.
