The Kingston Municipal Police Department is launching a CAPTURE program.
Video surveillance is one of the best methods for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects who are caught in the act of committing a crime. Video surveillance is a great crime deterrent and offers investigative leads in the event a crime does occur. The Kingston Municipal Police Department strongly encourages installing residential and business surveillance systems.
By registering with the Kingston Municipal Police Department, we can quickly identify nearby cameras that may have CAPTUREd criminal activity. If a crime occurs in your neighborhood, you may be contacted by a member of the Kingston Municipal Police Department, and be asked if you
would examine the time frame in question for potential leads in the investigation. We would then arrange a convenient way to retrieve the information from you.
Please note that we have absolutely zero access to your cameras, and that by participating in this program, your participation always remains 100% voluntary.
Your information will be kept safe and secure, and never made public. Only local law enforcement can view the video surveillance footage.
If you would like to participate in the program by providing your video surveillance footage and allow Officers to contact you, should a crime occur in or near where your cameras are installed, please fill out the online form, or you may call 570-288-3674, for a hard copy to be mailed to you.
If you have any questions, please contact Melanie Sweeney at 570-288-3674, or by email at msweeney@kingstonpd.org .
