If a crime occurs in their area, a member of the Millbrae Police Bureau may contact them asking to view video footage for a specific date and time.

If recordings related to a crime have been captured, the participating resident or business may be asked to provide a copy of the footage to the Millbrae Police Bureau.

β€œThis program is voluntary, and we will not collect video unrelated to crimes, but we need people to participate to help us put the bad guys behind bars,” said Chief Copeland.
