(Council Bluffs) The Council Bluffs Police Department has a new way for citizens and businesses in Council Bluffs to help us investigate crimes. Homeowners, property owners, and companies use cameras to protect their properties. He Council Bluffs Police Department often requests owners to check their systems to see if they captured an incident. BPD has started a database for camera owners to make this process more thorough.
- Participation is voluntary; you can remove your camera information from our database anytime.
- CBPD will only ask for contact information for the owner or business and what type of coverage you have available.
- At no time will the Department ask for login information or have access to your system.
- Information collected and stored in our records management system will be encrypted and only used as described below.
When an incident occurs in the area of a homeowner or business, CBPD officers or detectives may contact those near the incident to see if they have coverage of the incident. The home wner or business may voluntarily release footage to the Department. Having your system listed in the CBPD database does not require an owner to release footage to the Council Bluffs Police Department. Any footage released by a homeowner or business to the Department may be used in any portion of the investigative or court processes.
