The Beaufort Police Department has announced an upgraded Community Camera Registry Program, hoping to use technology and community partnerships to strengthen public safety.
This enhanced voluntary program invites residents and business owners to register their private security cameras with Beaufort PD. While we will not have direct access to live or recorded footage, the registry enables officers to quickly identify potential video near crime scenes and reach out for assistance.
What’s new
• Streamlined registration;
• Improved mapping capabilities; and
• Integration with Safe Living Beaufort Crime Reduction Tools.
How it works
• Voluntary participation – Residents, businesses register their cameras.
• Privacy-focused – No live feed or direct access; only location awareness.
• Safer communities – Helps officers respond quickly, solve cases more efficiently.
“This enhanced program is another way we’re building trust and collaboration between law enforcement and the community,” said Chief Price. “Camera registration helps us solve crimes faster and keeps our neighborhoods safer.”
The program aligns with Beaufort PD’s commitment to transparency, crime prevention, and community engagement. Participation is voluntary.
