Bradenton Police Launches New Camera Registry to Aid Investigations

The Bradenton Police Department has introduced "Connect Bradenton," a new initiative designed to enhance community safety and streamline investigations through private security camera footage.

The free and voluntary camera registry program is open to all City of Bradenton residents and business owners. It allows participants to register the location of their security cameras with the department. This helps officers quickly identify where cameras are located when gathering video evidence for investigations, potentially saving critical time during emergencies or criminal cases.

It is important to note that the registry does not provide direct access to participants' cameras. Instead, it serves as a database for officers to contact participants if an incident occurs nearby. The program ensures privacy while promoting community cooperation in enhancing public safety.
