San Mateo Police Department is seeking the assistance of San Mateo residents who have security camera systems. We also encourage residents to install and direct cameras to cover the public street and side area in front of their residence or business, if they have the resources to do so.
If you have video security cameras, San Mateo Police Department is encouraging you to register the location and capabilities of your camera with us. This is a voluntary registry - the San Mateo Police Department will not proactively take control of, access, or use your cameras.
In the event that your location has security video recordings helpful to the San Mateo Police Department in an investigation, our officers or detectives will contact you for assistance.
