Register a Security Camera
Law enforcement cannot be everywhere at every time. You are the best set of eyes to help your neighbors and your community. The Madison Police Department has built an interactive map of security cameras in the City of Madison as a tool to aid in police investigations that may have happened in your neighborhood. This program is the best way for us contact you, should you have camera footage that could be helpful.
Registering your camera does not allow the Madison Police Department access to your live video stream — it only enables investigators to know where any exterior cameras are present. The Police Department may request to view the footage to potentially be used as evidence to help solve a crime or other law violation. By registering your security camera with us you understand that your personal information may be disclosed subject to an open records request. You may always deny a request to view your camera or footage; however, a warrant may be requested to obtain this information. If there is evidence of a crime, law violation, or other incident on your camera footage, you may potentially be called as a witness in the case.
Through submission of this information, you agree to provide camera owner contact information. This information will only be accessible to the Madison Police Department.
