KILLEEN, Texas — The Killeen Police Department is asking residents to register their home and business security cameras in an effort to help keep the city safe.
The request is part of a new safety program called "KPD Connect." Police say they use the cameras on the database to find video evidence of when a crime takes place. More than 200 cameras have been registered around the city.
"Registering your cameras does not allow the Killeen 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," according to KPD Connect's website.
If you choose to register a camera, police investigators might ask you for footage if a crime happens nearby. You can also choose to give police direct access to the live video by "integrating" their cameras.
To register, go to https://kpdconnect.org/. It takes less than a minute, and it doesn't cost anything.
