Roswell police say residents, businesses’ outdoor cameras can help solve crimes
Roswell Police is launching a volunteer program for local residents and businesses to privately register their outdoor cameras with the department.
The registration and camera footage can potentially help police solve crimes, Police Public Information Officer Tim Lupo said.
The police department will not have access to any live video feeds, Lupo said. Registering the device, which is free of charge, will allow officers to pinpoint where a privately owned camera is located when a crime occurs and contact the owner to see if there is footage can inform the case, the city said.
“Previously our officers and investigators would have to go into a neighborhood, go door to door and start looking where a camera might be placed outside,” Lupo said. “This greatly speeds up the process.”
