A partnership between the municipality of Wood Buffalo and RCMP hopes to help police identify and return stolen property, and record crimes across the region.
The Community Assisted Policing Through Use of Recorded Evidence (CAPTURE) program is a voluntary registration of privately owned security cameras. Homes and businesses with security cameras would be registered with police to help with investigations.
Police must contact the owners of the cameras and ask for the footage if they believe it’s useful. They will not have unlimited or live access to the footage.
The RMWB and RCMP are also distributing an invisible glue that tags property. The ProtechDNA adhesive has hundreds of microscopic dots that police can scan.
A UV light and special detection equipment supplied to police help officers identify your personal pin and contact information which police can access through a secure database.
