How it Works

The purpose of the Surveillance Camera Registration Program is to provide the community members and businesses with a means to assist the Newport Police Department in preventing and fighting crime, with the help of exterior video surveillance cameras.

The program allows residents and businesses to register the locations of their exterior video surveillance systems with the Newport Police Department so that when a crime occurs, police will be able to identify the locations of nearby video cameras easily and efficiently.

Through the program, Newport Police personnel will be able to directly contact registrants who are using video surveillance in an area where a crime occurred and request recordings for a specific date and time that may show activities tied to that crime.
