[ARCHIVED] Camera Registration Service

An outdoor surveillance camera attached to the outside of a building.

The Kalispell Police Department is looking to partner with businesses and homeowners in the Kalispell area to participate in a camera registration project.  This program will allow homeowners and businesses to register their external security cameras on a voluntary basis. 

The program will aid in investigating cases in the event of a crime near a residence or business. The police department would contact the system owner to see if their cameras recorded events relative to the investigation.  The cameras would still be legally protected and not accessible to law enforcement without the owner’s consent or a legal process. 

Members of the Kalispell Police Department would not have the availability to remotely access or control a system through the registry.  The system simply would be a registration program that would allow a quick synopsis of cameras in the area a crime was committed. The registry would save investigative time and efficiency, allowing for a more responsive police investigation.   The registration service works through a secured access point only available to law enforcement. 

To register a system, please go to;

 We value our partnerships with the Kalispell community.  The mapping initiative is another opportunity to partner together with community members to address public safety in the Kalispell Area.
