Sponsored by the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Johnson County Operation Watchdog encourages residents and businesses to register their privately owned home or business video surveillance systems in efforts to increase safety and reduce crime.
According to a post on the sheriff’s department’s Facebook page, law enforcement recognizes that crimes can be committed at any place or time and that home or business video surveillance may have captured vital footage that could help solve crimes in the community.
During a criminal investigation, officers are often unaware of the many residences and businesses that have surveillance systems which may have captured footage of value to the investigation. Having knowledge of the location of a surveillance system could be instrumental in a successful resolution.
