In an effort to continue our public safety partnership with citizens and businesses, the Postville Police Department is offering a security camera registration program. The Postville Police Department Camera Registry Program allows residents and business owners to voluntarily register the locations of their video surveillance systems with the Postville Police Department or Postville City Hall all registrations will be confidential. When a crime occurs, police will be able to identify the locations of nearby video cameras to obtain potential video surveillance. If necessary, police would ask Postville Camera Registry Program participants to check their private video surveillance systems for a specific date and time for video that may show activity involved with a crime, and, if they so choose, participants can voluntarily provide copies of video footage to police for investigative purposes. This program lets the residents of Postville be part of neighborhood watch.
Thank You for your cooperation,
Chief, Matt Ellis – Postville Police Department
