Carrollton, GA (August 7, 2024) – Carrollton Police Department is proud to unveil its latest initiative aimed at enhancing community safety: Carrollton Community Camera Partnership. This innovative, voluntary program invites Carrollton residents, businesses, and neighborhoods to register or integrate their security cameras, providing Carrollton Police with a valuable tool to investigate and deter crime.
The Carrollton Community Camera Partnership empowers citizens to contribute to crime prevention and investigation. By registering their cameras, individuals and businesses do not grant automatic access to live video streams or footage; instead, they simply inform Carrollton Police of the presence of surveillance cameras at their locations in the event of an incident.
Participants also have the option to integrate their live video streams directly into Carrollton Police Department’s system. This integration allows officers to access real-time video during emergencies or active situations, which enhances response times and ensures greater safety for both officers and the community. Importantly, data from privately-owned cameras remains under the control of the owner, with all police usage being meticulously tracked and logged.
Engaging with the Carrollton Community Camera Partnership is straightforward: residents and businesses can visit https://carrolltonpd.com/services/carrollton-community-camera-partnership/ to explore registration and integration options for their existing cameras.
The Carrollton Community Camera Partnership initiative is supported by Flock Safety, a public safety platform that fosters collaboration between cities, businesses, schools, and law enforcement. Flock Safety’s technology, including License Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras, has been instrumental in solving and reducing crime across the city.
“Carrollton Community Camera Partnership represents a significant step forward in our effort to work alongside our community to enhance safety,” said Lt. Blake Hitchcock. “This cost-effective, user-friendly platform provides us with critical investigative tools while upholding the privacy and integrity of our residents. Together, we are creating a safer Carrollton.”
