Register your security camera to help solve crimes

Posted on July 24, 2025


Virtual Community Watch

The Somerville Police Department is launching a Virtual Community Watch program, and we’re inviting residents and business owners with outdoor security cameras to take part.

Many people already have security cameras on their homes or businesses. These cameras may capture important footage that could help solve crimes nearby, but often neither the camera owner nor the police know the footage exists.

Registering your camera will help us quickly find and request video if an incident occurs. Registration doesn’t give us access to your camera. It just lets us know you have one in case we need to follow up.
