The Camera Watch Program provides property owners the opportunity to assist the St. Paul Police Department ("SPPD") in solving crimes in their neighborhoods by registering their exterior cameras. Participating in this program is voluntary and will provide SPPD an active database of camera locations across the city. The following information is provided: name, address, phone number and email. This information is identified under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA) section 13.37, Subd. 1 (a) as non public or private data. You are not legally, obligated to provide SPPD with all requested information in order to fully register your camera. However, SPPD may not be able to fully register your camera if you do not provide sufficient information. Although the data you provide is non-public and private, there may be circumstances where SPPD would have to release the information, such as court, or authorization under Federal or State laws. By signing this form, you are acknowledging that you have read, received, and understand this advisory and consent to providing the necessary information to SPPD to register your camera.

By typing my name in this form, I certify that I am voluntarily signing up for the Community Camera Watch Program through the Saint Paul Police Department. I realize they will not be using my camera for active police surveillance and officers will not have direct access to my camera. I realize if a crime occurs near my address, I may be contact to provide video footage which might assist an investigation. I understand my name, address, phone number and email will be maintained in a secure database as part of the program and this information is classified as non-public and confidential. I can ask at any time to be removed from the Camera Watch Program. I realize if I request to receive a Community Watch Sticker, I may choose to place it on my door or window, which might help deter crime and let people know I am a Community Watch member.
