Marin Residents, Business Owners Urged To Register Security Cameras

MARIN COUNTY, CA — The Marin County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents and business owners to participate in the agency’s Security Camera Registration Program.

The program aims to help identify the locations of nearby video cameras and enlist the community to collect video evidence that the Sheriff’s Office said can help investigators solve crimes.

“Video surveillance is one of the best methods for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects who are caught in the act of committing a crime,” the agency said in a statement.

The program will not provide authorities remote access to the cameras, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Involvement in this program is voluntary.

"We are simply trying to identify who has cameras and would be willing to assist us by providing their footage should there be a crime in your neighborhood," the agency said.
