Register Your San Leandro Home, Business Surveillance Camera System

SAN LEANDRO, CA — The San Leandro Police Department is asking residents and business owners to register their video surveillance systems as a crime fighting tool.

According to police, "Video surveillance is one of the best methods for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects who are caught in the act of committing a crime. Installing video surveillance is a great example of community-police partnerships and is something we highly value as a police agency serving our community."

Here is a fact sheet from the police department:

How it works

The San Leandro Police Department is committed to our partnership with residents and business owners. Many business owners and residents currently operate surveillance systems at their businesses and/or homes. As crimes occur nearby, they are not always aware that their system may have captured information that could help solve the crime, thus keeping our community safer. In turn, the police are also not always aware of who may have this potentially vital information. Cameras are also a good deterrent to prevent theft from occurring.

The Police Department is asking residents and businesses across the city to register their privately owned surveillance camera systems. As the Police Department responds to criminal incidents in our community, they may be able to use the information or footage gathered from the security cameras to assist in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminals involved.

Benefits of registering your camera

Make San Leandro an undesirable place for criminals to commit crimes and help keep our community safe!
