(New Castle, PA) The New Castle Police Department has recently started a program asking residents and business owners to register their security cameras for police use. That department shared details about its Camera Registry Program last month, which police state is voluntary and will allow them “to quickly identify nearby cameras that may have captured footage of a crime.” New Castle police also confirm that the program is a faster way for officers to know where to look during an investigation, and according to New Castle Lieutenant Steven Brooks, about twelve people have signed up so far.
