Can I refuse to share camera footage?

• YES! There is no requirement to provide camera footage and you can decline to do so at any time.

What are the benefits of registering the location of my camera?

• First, video evidence has been used to solve hundreds of crimes in Freehold Township. Where video evidence is available it lessens the need for the home/business owner to attend court proceedings. 
• Second, if a crime occurs on your block in the middle of the night, we will set up more convenient time to meet with you if you are willing to share camera footage.
• Third, if a crime occurs on your block in the middle of the night, when no one is home, the video will be able to narrow the time window of the crime.

Who is eligible?

• Anyone who lives or operates a business within Freehold Township is welcome to register the location of their private camera and aid in criminal investigations.

How will my camera information be used?
