The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) has announced a new public safety program entitled “Beverly Hills Connect.” The initiative aims to strengthen the city’s public safety efforts by leveraging the use of technology to foster stronger community collaboration.
Residents and business owners can voluntarily participate in Beverly Hills Connect through two different avenues. The first is by registering their privately owned, public-facing security cameras online at beverlyhills.org/bhconnect. Registration is free and does not provide police with direct access to your live feed. Rather, investigators will be able to quickly identify potential sources of video evidence and request footage from specific camera owners near a crime scene, saving time and mitigating the need for door-to-door canvassing.
