The CAMSafe program has been implemented at the Dryden and Ignace provincial police detachments.
The program creates local databases of residential and commercial security cameras that can be used as a resource for police when investigating offences/crimes.
Officers can access the database which will show them a map with the location of all registered addresses.
Officers can select an address for more information, most notably the property owners’ contact information.
Police cannot access your security camera or cloud-based accounts.
If they would like to examine camera footage, they must receive permission from the property owner first.
Residents who are interested in signing up are only required to provide basic contact information and camera location but, can include more details if desired, such as the direction the camera faces, footage retention details or screenshots of the camera view.
Registrants can only view their own information and can delete their account or change their information at any time.
