“Security Camera Registry” program asks citizens and business owners to share their surveillance video

The Fairhaven Police Department is asking for the public’s help in combating crime. Residents and businesses that own security systems are invited to become part of the Fairhaven Police Security Camera Registry. The new database will allow residents and businesses to voluntarily submit their video surveillance system information.

The department will only access security footage with the owner’s permission. It is important to note that the department would not have direct access to your surveillance system but would ask system owners to share video footage that might be needed to help us solve crimes.

Knowing where security cameras are located and having the ability to access the data can help the police solve cases more quickly. Additionally, they will ensure our neighborhoods remain safe and minimize property crimes. Owner information will be kept confidential. Only select few members of the Fairhaven Police Department will know where the cameras are located and who provided the footage to the department.

Residents and business owners willing to share their information can do so through our website: www.fairhavenpolice.org
