LAGRANGE, Ky. - The Oldham County Police Department hopes a little help from the public can help them crack down on crime.
Police are asking homeowners and businesses that use private security cameras to contact them.
They want people to register their security cameras with the department so they are able to quickly identify nearby cameras that may capture criminal activity.
Police say your personal information will remain confidential and that you will only be contacted by police if there is a criminal incident near your area.
Everyone interested in joining the voluntary program will need to agree to the following terms:
- If police believe your video could help with an investigation, they will contact you using the information you provide on a registration form.
- All video footage will remain your property until it is requested by the Oldham County Police Department and collected.
- Your participation in the program will not be an obligation to release surveillance video to the Oldham County Police Department upon request
- Footage from your security cameras containing or related to criminal activity collected by Oldham County Police could be used as evidence
- Under no circumstances are you to believe you are or should you act as an agent and/or employee of the Oldham County Police Department by participating in this program.
You can sign up for the program on the Oldham County Police Department's website. If you have more questions, you can call them at 502-222-1300.
