City of Asbury Park

The Asbury Park Police Department is launching a Video Surveillance Camera Registration Program!

YOU CAN HELP US KEEP ASBURY PARK A SAFE COMMUNITY!

The Asbury Park Police Department is committed to utilizing every resource to prevent and solve crimes and to protect citizens and their property.  Many residents and businesses are now utilizing surveillance cameras and these cameras may capture persons and events without the owner’s knowledge and this captured information may help the police department solve crimes and help keep the city safe.

The Asbury Park Police Department is asking residents and businesses around the city to register their privately-owned surveillance camera systems.  As our officers respond to reports of criminal activity in our community, they may be able to use the information or footage captured on these security cameras to assist in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminals involved.  The fillable form can be completed and submitted online. 

By registering your camera system with the Asbury Park Police Department, officers and detectives will be able to identify what cameras may have captured criminal activity.  You would only be contacted by the Asbury Park Police Department if there is an incident within the vicinity of your camera system and officers or detectives may request to view the footage in order to assist in the investigation.

Disclaimer and Terms of Use:

1. If necessary, the Asbury Park Police Department will contact you directly, using the information provided by you at the time of registration, to request the appropriate video surveillance footage.

2. Any and all video surveillance footage shall remain the property of the registrant until it is requested by the Asbury Park Police Department and collected from the registrant by the Asbury Park Police Department. Your voluntary participation in this program shall not be construed as an obligation to release any surveillance video to the Asbury Park Police Department upon request.

3. Any footage containing or related to criminal activity collected by the Asbury Park Police Department may be used as evidence during any stage of a criminal proceeding.

4. Under no circumstances shall registrants construe that they are acting as an agent and/or employee of the City of Asbury Park and/or the Asbury Park Police Department through the program.
