Register your camera with the police
Surveillance footage helps the police solve burglaries, robberies, and other crimes. Do you have one or more cameras installed around or on your home or business premises? Please let us know. The better the police in Map know where cameras are installed in your neighbourhood , the faster they can work to solve crimes.
How does it work?
Suppose your home is broken into. The police will then check a database to see who has a camera installed in your neighbourhood . They can then quickly retrieve the footage to see if the perpetrator might be in the footage. So the police aren’t watching your cameras live; they’re simply keeping track of where they’re located. This way, your camera not only protects your own property, but also helps make your neighbourhood safer.
How to register
You can register your camera(s) via www.politie.nl/cib, the QR code, or through your community police officer.
