Ventura County Sheriff's Department

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office / Fillmore Police Department is committed to our ongoing partnership with residents and business owners in preventing and solving crime. As technology has improved, video surveillance has become one of the best methods for apprehending and convicting criminals. Utilizing the surveillance systems that many residents and business owners currently operate at their homes and/or businesses is a great example of how the community and law enforcement can further partner in an effort of keeping our neighborhoods safer. As crimes occur nearby, they are not always aware that their system may have captured information that could help solve the crime, and keep our communities safer. In turn, law enforcement is not always aware who may have this potentially vital information.

How the Video Surveillance Camera Registration System Works:

The department utilizes a secure database to log information about who has surveillance systems and specific details such as, how many cameras, which direction the cameras point, which area’s they cover, login information, etc. When a crime occurs, authorities can quickly search the database by logging into the system or contact the owners of the system to potentially help solve a crime.
