3. The City of Mount Vernon's Community Camera Registration Program

   The City of Mount Vernon is dedicated to helping to keeping our entire community safe. To that end, we ask that the community allow us to use the cameras that they use to keep their individual house or business safe to help keep the entire community safe.

   Many people that use cameras don't realize that their surveillance cameras may have actually captured a criminal act or person that may have committed a crime.  Additionally, the Mount Vernon Police Department currently does not have a list of available cameras for a particular block or area and has to literally walk down each block after every event or incident to see if there are cameras available.

   Our hope is to build a map of available cameras so that we know which cameras will be available after an event and know where these cameras cover. This can lead to a faster, and hopefully, more enhanced criminal investigation. 

   Working together, lets map out a Safer Mount Vernon. 

   There is NO COST to anyone registering a camera. This program is completely voluntary and you can withdraw from it at any time by emailing socialmedia@pd.cmvny.com .

   You will only be contacted if there is a crime that occurred in which your camera could have potentially captured part of the event.

   The Mount Vernon Police Department will never have direct access to your cameras. The point of this program is to only have the Police Department contact you and then ask you to provide us with a copy of your available footage.

   Even if you are registered in this program, you are under no obligation to provide us with the video.
