WOODSTOCK POLICE PARTNER WITH CAMSAFE

WOODSTOCK, ON (November 9, 2023) – The Woodstock Police Service is initiating a new partnership with CAMSafe – a voluntary, community-driven CCTV and security video registry program, allowing businesses and residents to partner with police in solving crime in their neighbourhoods.

If there is a crime committed in a particular area, police are able to login to CAMSafe to determine who has cameras in the area that they could contact to request footage.

Residents and businesses are able to create a secure account on the camsafe.ca website with only basic information; including name, address and contact information. They can then register video cameras/doorbell cams by indicating the number of cameras on the property and the direction the cameras face.

There is no direct access to cameras or account information through CAMSafe – it is only a directory for officers to utilize during investigations to locate the owners of potential footage.

Members of the community have the ability to add or delete information from their CAMSafe account at any time.

“The Woodstock Police are always looking to leverage the latest technology to assist our officers and provide the necessary tools for them to keep our community safe. This program is built on partnerships with the residents and businesses in the City of Woodstock and will contribute to the overall safety and wellbeing of our community.” – Deputy Chief Novacich

The Woodstock Police Service encourages residents and businesses to register their cameras on camsafe.ca to help combat crime in our community.
