Would you like to help solve crime in your neighborhood?

The Lake Stevens Police Department is forming a community partnership where all residents and businesses with cameras on their property can register them with our department.

Video cameras are increasingly being used in both residential and commercial properties to prevent crime. As such, video surveillance has become extremely helpful in solving crimes, identifying perpetrators, and serving as valuable evidence in court.

Police investigations often involve officers and/or detectives canvassing neighborhoods looking for cameras.  Knowing ahead of time where cameras are located greatly speeds up investigations by allowing officers and/or detectives to prioritize where to begin looking for evidence.  Many times, the best available video evidence isn’t of the crime itself, but of pathways and streets leading into and out of the scene.

Participation in this partnership is completely voluntary.  All registered information will be protected but may be subject to public disclosure by state law.  The Lake Stevens Police Department will not have direct access to your cameras.  If you find that you do have relevant footage, you will be provided a link to upload it directly to our Evidence.com system.

If you are interested in participating in this community partnership with the Lake Stevens Police Department, please visit our website and fill out the registration form: https://forms.office.com/g/iN4y4tjFmB

We are committed to the safety of our communities and know that you are too!
