In the event of criminal activity in an area, police officers may contact registrants and ask for assistance in obtaining surveillance camera footage that may aid in an investigation. Participation and release of camera footage is completely voluntary and officers will never have direct access to camera systems.

Participants in the program will receive a window decal indicating their participation in the program to display at their business or home.
