Clearwater Camera Sharing

Help Keep Clearwater Safe

Clearwater Camera Sharing is a new public safety collaboration between the Clearwater Police Department and our residents that will greatly enhance emergency response and preparedness.

This voluntary program builds on our community engagement efforts and enables police, fire and public safety professionals to better assess and rapidly respond to criminal activity and emergency situations. It will also allow investigators to easily and efficiently gather valuable information or evidence from publicly facing cameras in the event of an emergency or incident. Clearwater Camera Sharing enables our residents and business owners to become an active participant in helping make their community a safer place to live and work.

“Clearwater Camera Sharing” consists of (2) related programs, Camera Registration and Camera Integration

LEVEL 1: Register Your Cameras

Let's work together to fight crime! Register your security cameras with Clearwater Camera Sharing today to help identify area cameras in case of an incident. An investigator from the Clearwater Police Department will contact you via email if they need your assistance solving a crime near you.

Camera registration takes less than one minute via our secure online portal. Registering your cameras does not allow the Clearwater Police Department access to your live video stream - it only enables investigators to know a camera is present at your location and easily request video evidence should an incident occur.

LEVEL 2: Integrate Your Cameras

Businesses and residents can take community security one step further by giving the Clearwater Police Department direct access to your camera feed in case of a nearby emergency.

All you need is a small CORE device that you plug into your camera system.

Please complete Level 1 (Camera Registry) before proceeding to Level 2 (Camera Integration). If you have previously registered your security cameras, please go directly to Step 2 to purchase CORE devices.
