Folsom Solves Crimes Through Voluntary Camera Registry

Many police departments are using surveillance camera footage to solve crimes but that usually means detectives going out after the fact to canvas areas and look for people or businesses that have cameras installed. A new program in Folsom allows residents to register their cameras with the police department. The department has created a map of where the cameras are located and its already helped solve some property crimes. The map is not public and the department has no ability to control or access the camera or recorded video. Click the link for our conversation with Melanie Catanio of the Folsom Police Department.
