Security Camera Registration
The Sonoma County Sheriff's Camera Registration program is a voluntary record of home or business security cameras, meant to assist law enforcement during an investigation.
In the event of a critical incident or criminal investigation, business or residential security cameras may capture evidence essential to solving a case. These investigations frequently requires the canvassing neighborhoods surrounding a crime scene for security cameras. Knowing where cameras are located greatly speeds up investigations by allowing investigators to prioritize where to begin looking for evidence. Many times the best available video evidence is not of the crime scene itself, but of pathways and streets leading into and out of the crime scene.
The Sheriff's Office is requesting that residents and businesses, with security cameras on their property, register them with the Sheriff's Office. Participation in the camera registration program is completely voluntary and there is no fee. All registered information is kept confidential and will only be accessible to law enforcement personnel during criminal investigations. This camera registration program does not provide access to any cameras or systems, it only documents their locations and the contact information provided by the owner.
Thank you for partnering with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office to make our community a safer place to live, work and play.
