*************************
TOWN OF NEW TECUMSETH, ADJALA-TOSORONTIO & ESSA TOWNSHIPS, ON)- Members of the Nottawasaga Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are working together with local residents and business partners to assist with crime prevention.

The new Security Camera Registry and Mapping (SCRAM) Program is a community-based crime prevention opportunity that enlists the help of Nottawasaga property and business owners. This program allows community members to voluntarily identify their residential or business video surveillance locations.

Disclosing footage to police is on a voluntary basis. Identified addresses will be mapped on a database of surveillance camera locations for officers to quickly and effectively direct resources when investigating criminal offences in neighbourhoods.

If you would like more information on the program or would like to participate please e-mail the below information or any questions to [email protected]

Please provide the following information:

  • Business Name
  • Address
  • Contact name, cell phone and/or residential/business number, and e-mail address
  • Camera information (description of camera location(s), exterior facing, what they capture etc.).

Nottawasaga OPP officers have already been out canvassing local business partners for the program. The positive feedback has been greatly appreciated.
