Your Security Camera Help SJPD Fight Crime | |
|
Roughly 70% of US households now have some form of security camera on their porch or integrated into their doorbell. What if all those cameras could help the police solve crimes in our neighborhoods? San Jose Police Department has created a new program to do just that. Introducing CAM (Camera Archive & Mapping)
Participating is easy, taking just moments and couple clicks to register your camera. Knowing a camera is in the area where a crime was committed or along a route a suspect may have taken to get away, the Police Department can then contact you and request footage from your camera to see if it captured any useful evidence.
The Police Department never has access to your camera or your files, they only know which homes have registered their security cameras to be part of the CAM program.

Local businesses have a new opportunity to reinvigorate their business, save money, and support community-wide energy conservation efforts through a new program from San José Clean Energy, the local clean electricity provider operated by the City of San José.
The San José Energy Efficient Business Program has unlocked several rebates to San José business owners for qualifying HVAC, refrigeration, or water heating projects. These rebates, totaling up to 80–90% off the project cost, will make renovations to your small business more affordable and kickstarting these upgrades so much easier!
