The Modesto Police Department is encouraging residents and businesses to register their security cameras to support the Real Time Crime Center through the Connect Modesto program. "Help protect your neighborhood — connect your cameras with Modesto PD," the Modesto Police Department urged on social media.
Participation is voluntary, with privacy protected, and footage can be accessed either in real time or by request depending on the chosen integration level. The registration process is quick, taking under a minute, with an option for immediate system integration during critical incidents, as stated by the Modesto Police Department.
According to the Modesto Police Department on their Facebook page, Connect Modesto is a program that allows residents and business owners to register their security cameras to help local police with crime prevention and investigations. Similar programs have been introduced in other cities. People can get more information and register at CONNECTMODESTO.ORG. The department says: "Get connected. Stay informed. Help keep Modesto safe."
