Red Deer RCMP launch new security camera registry

Jul 8, 2019 | 3:21 PM

Red Deer RCMP has launched CAPTURE (Community Assisted Policing Through the use of Recorded Evidence), a new security camera registry.

Mounties say the voluntary registry will record the location of security cameras owned by businesses and residents in Red Deer to assist in police investigations.

“Implementing a camera registry was identified in Red Deer’s current Annual Policing Plan as an initiative to prevent and reduce property crime,” said S/Sgt. Jay Peden, Acting Operations Support Officer of the Red Deer detachment. “CAPTURE gives our members another resource to assist in their investigations, and could reduce the time, effort and cost of our investigations.”

To register a camera and to learn more, visit www.reddeercapture.ca.

Only the location of the camera(s) and contact information is recorded on the secure site. Registering a camera does not give police access to cameras or the footage. If an incident happens, Red Deer RCMP can view the list of camera locations, and contact the registered camera owners to make a request for the images or footage.

“By providing the Red Deer RCMP with the location of your security cameras, you could be helping to shorten the required time for investigations and providing key information to ensure people responsible for crime are held responsible,” said S/Sgt. Peden.
