Crime Busters: Register Your Home Security Cameras With BPD

BERKELEY, CA — Have you installed security cameras at your home or business? Help Berkeley Police solve future crimes by registering your cameras now with the city.

Following crimes, police officers and detectives often go door-to-door to see if the suspect was caught on a security camera. The process is time consuming. The Security Camera Registry tells police that you're willing to voluntarily share footage if they're investigating a crime.

Registering does not provide the Berkeley Police Department with direct access to your camera. Registration is completely voluntary and free of charge. Your personal information is kept confidential by the police department and will only be accessed by law enforcement personnel who are conducting an investigation. Registration may be withdrawn at any time.

Register You Cameras

The process for registering your camera is simple and only takes a few minutes to complete. You will be asked to provide basic information on where your cameras are located. Once you have completed the registration process, a member of the Berkeley Police Department will follow up with you to confirm your registration.
