The Chestermere CAPTURE (Community Assisted Policing Through Use of Recorded Evidence) program is a voluntary camera registry that records the locations of security cameras in Chestermere.
The program aims to build a registry of private security camera locations to assist in police investigations.
Often, private security cameras capture evidence that can be used to help solve a crime. If an incident happens, Chestermere RCMP can view the list of camera locations, contact the registered camera owners, and request to obtain a copy of the footage.
By providing Chestermere RCMP with the location of your home or business security camera, you could help shorten the time for investigations and provide key information to help hold people responsible for committing crimes.
