The Stratford Police issued a media release today outlining their SCRAM Program.
They say that with security cameras known as a great crime prevention tool on its own, but what would happen they say when the community and police work together to prevent crime through a coordinated effort using the evidence captured on the cameras located through the community.
The Stratford Police is debuting the new Security Camera Registry and Mapping Program. SCRAM is a community based crime prevention program that enlists the help of members of the community to quickly and efficiently provide police with the best evidence possible, and will work towards the prevention of crime throughout Stratford, St. Marys and Perth South.
The program allows community members to voluntarily provide information about their residential or business surveillance cameras through a simple and secure form located at the City of Stratford website.
Identified addresses will then be mapped on a database of surveillance cameras locations for officers to quickly direct resources when investigating criminal offences in neighbourhoods.
The link for more information and for registration for SCRAM is located below.
