Residents' Security Cameras Can Help Gloucester Twp. Combat Crime

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Gloucester Township police are asking for the public’s help to combat crime in their neighborhoods.

“The Gloucester Township Police Department is requesting residents, businesses, and organizations that have security cameras in place on their property to complete a short registration form,” police said in a statement Thursday morning.

Police said the forms are being used as part of a database of active cameras they can reference in case of crime. It doesn’t give them access to residents’ cameras.

“For example, if a burglary occurs down the street from your property, we would know your camera may have captured an image of a vehicle or suspect that could connect us to the suspects involved in the burglary,” police said. “A detective would be able to contact you and ask to review the footage in hopes of identifying a suspect description or any information that can help the case.”

Registration is voluntary and there is no cost associated with registration. The form is available here: https://gtpolice.com/gloucester-township-police-camera-program/.
