Minnetonka Police invite residents and businesses to register their private video surveillance systems through the department’s SafeCam program. The program creates a database of private camera locations in the city. Should a crime occur in or near where a camera is installed, Minnetonka officers can contact nearby homeowners and businesses to request potentially valuable video.

SafeCam is 100-percent voluntary and does NOT provide Minnetonka police with access to security camera systems.

• The program only records the address and basic characteristics of the cameras. It does not collect serial numbers, passwords or other identifying camera information.
• Personal information is confidential and will not be distributed except as required by law or court order.
• You can opt out at any time.

Residents are invited to register any kind of surveillance cameras, such as video doorbells, wireless video camera systems and home security cameras.

Register your system with SafeCam.

The Minnetonka Police Department partners with Ring for Public Safety to connect with residents via the Neighbors app.

Through the app, the department invites people living near a crime incident to share potentially relevant surveillance video. Video sharing is 100-percent voluntary. Minnetonka Police do not have access to any user information or surveillance video unless forwarded by the owner.
