D.C. Businesses Asked to Register Security Cameras

D.C. police are asking businesses to let the department know if they have security cameras, says a Washington Examiner report.

Police say they operate a network of close-circuit television cameras throughout the city to deter crime, and that businesses owners can register their surveillance cameras or video systems with police to help expand that network.

The police department says the information can aid in investigations and protect businesses. Informing police about video equipment is voluntary for businesses and is free.
