Protect your home and prevent crime

Protect your home and prevent crime

Dear resident,

You may have noticed an increase in officers in your area today, that’s because we are responding to your concerns about crime in the area for Operation Advance.

Officers will be conducting reassurance patrols across the area today to keep your community safe. Feel free to come and talk to us.

Op Advance is all about us catching criminals. You can help us do this from the comfort of your own home by registering your home and business CCTV within 60 seconds.

Register your CCTV and doorbell cameras with us today to receive alerts when your footage may help us catch criminals operating in your area.

It takes just 60 seconds to add your details to our secure police system and within minutes, you could be helping us solve serious crimes.

How it works in three easy steps:

You will receive a text or email when a crime happens near your home or business and our officers believe your CCTV may have recorded the incident.

Upload the images via the secure link contained in the message.

Privacy:

Your name, address camera details or any other personal information will not be publicly available on the secure site.

Investigating officers will only be able to see cameras plotted on a digital map and held on a secure police system with strictly controlled access.

We will not have access to your cameras or stored images – you decide what images you share with us.

We will only contact you if we believe you may have recorded the incident or suspects. You should subscribe to WMNow.co.uk if you wish to receive crime alerts and other policing updates from us.

Sharing your recording with us does not mean you will have to attend court.

You can unsubscribe at any time.
