FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Police Launch SafeCam Program to Partner Security Camera Systems with Police Investigations
Edina, Minn., Dec. 14, 2021 – In an effort to quickly connect police with security footage when a crime occurs, the Edina Police Department announced Tuesday the launch of its SafeCam
Program.
SafeCam allows Edina residents and businesses to voluntarily register their security cameras so detectives will know who to contact in the event a crime occurred at or near an area in
which a camera is installed. The tool will not provide the Police Department access to privately owned security camera systems without the owner’s permission, and participation in the
program is completely voluntarily.
“The goal of this program is to partner with our residents and businesses so we can quickly find video security footage when a crime takes place,” said Police Chief Todd Milburn. “By
giving our investigators a database of security cameras in the city, we will be able to save time and more efficiently find information to help solve a crime.”
Owners of the security cameras will maintain confidentiality and their personal information will not be distributed except as required by law or court order. Participants may opt out
of the program at any time by calling the Police Department at 952-826-1610.
