SCRAM (Surveillance Camera Registration and Mapping) Application

The Dallas Police Department Surveillance Camera Registration And Mapping program provides an opportunity for residents and business owners to help officers solve local crimes with the help of exterior video surveillance cameras. With the popular use of surveillance systems in communities, video evidence has frequently helped officers develop leads and bring investigations to conclusions. Participation in this program is voluntary.

How it Works:
Using the geographic location of registered cameras, the Dallas Police officers will be able to directly contact a registrant to determine if they have helpful, recordings should a crime occur near the registered surveillance system.
