Do you have a doorbell camera or CCTV? If so, join the CCTV Registry to help keep your community safe.

The secure platform allows officers to contact camera owners to ask for CCTV footage. This means officers don't have to go in person to collect video evidence, leading to faster investigations for victims and witnesses.

By registering your cameras and their locations, you will be helping to identify potential video evidence after an incident, and in turn, helping to keep your area safe. CCTV registry | Kent Police
