Red Deer RCMP urge community to register for CAPTURE program

With the increase of weekend getaways and summer vacations, local Mounties say it is important to be proactive.

Red Deer RCMP say you can help protect your property, your family, and your community by registering your security camera(s) with the CAPTURE Program (Community Assisted Policing Through Use of Recorded Evidence).

According to police, CAPTURE is a voluntary camera registry that records the locations of security cameras in Red Deer. Officials say the purpose of CAPTURE is to build a registry of private security camera locations to assist in police investigations.

Often, say police, security cameras capture evidence that can be used to solve a crime. If an incident happens, Red Deer RCMP can view the list of camera locations, and contact the registered camera owners. By providing the Red Deer RCMP with the location of your security cameras, Mounties say you could be helping to shorten the required time for investigations and providing key information to ensure people responsible for crime are held accountable.
