(Atlantic) The Atlantic Police Department is asking residents with surveillance cameras to assist in criminal investigations through The Community Camera Program. The program allows residents to register for the program with their contact and camera information. Your information is kept strictly with the Atlantic Police Department and law enforcement cannot view any footage without permission. Residents are not obligated to turn over any footage and can decline at any time.
The program is designed to make potential evidence available faster, with the help of local security cameras. The Department says, “Many times, investigators use precious resources they have attempting to locate who may have camera footage and then contacting a homeowner or business owner to try and acquire that video or photo evidence.”The Police Department hopes to make our community safer through this program.

If that is not an option, contact their office at 712-243-3512 for additional accommodations.
