🤝 The Gist: The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is introducing “Operation Safer Together,” a new initiative that allows residents to register their exterior monitoring devices, including doorbell cameras and Ring and Nest cameras, enabling investigators to request footage if a crime occurs in the area.
🤔 Why It Matters: By partnering with the community, the Sheriff’s Office aims to enhance security measures, gather valuable evidence, and solve crimes more efficiently.
🎥 How It Works:
- Residents can easily and securely register their exterior monitoring devices online.
- If a crime occurs in an area covered by registered devices, investigators will reach out to residents for footage.
- For those concerned about privacy, officials say the program does not monitor live stream footage and ensures that device information is kept confidential.
🗣️ What They’re Saying:
- “Operation Safer Together seeks to fortify partnerships between law enforcement and local businesses, residents, and community organizations to proactively combat crime.” -Captain Jason Batchelor
- “This new program will partner with our successful FLOCK camera system to give our residents and businesses an opportunity to connect their monitoring devices so that evildoers can be identified and brought to justice.” -Sheriff David J. Davis
📈 Inspired by Success: The initiative draws inspiration from the success of Atlanta PD’s Operation Shield, which has seen over 16,000 residents and businesses register their monitoring devices.
