WPD’s Operation S.C.R.A.M.
The Willoughby Police Department is proud to announce the department’s new Security Camera Registration and Mapping (S.C.R.A.M.). Operation S.C.R.A.M. provides an opportunity for residents and business owners to help officers solve crimes that may occur in our community. In recent years, video evidence, captured by private surveillance systems, has become a valuable tool to help officers and detectives develop leads, further investigations, solve crimes, and put criminals behind bars.
By registering, your surveillance camera can be added to a secure GIS database which will allow Willoughby Police to see camera locations on a map near crime. Registration of your video surveillance system DOES NOT grant the Willoughby Police Department, or its agents, access to your system. It simply lets law enforcement know the location of these systems in Willoughby.
