The South Bend Police Department wants to partner with businesses and homeowners to help catch criminals and assist with investigations by using security cameras.
The moment a crime occurs, South Bend Police officers turn to nearby security cameras for their very first tips. If a business or homeowner registers their security camera, the South Bend Police Department will easily know of cameras in the area and contact the owner to view their recordings.
