An individual’s personal information will be kept confidential by the City unless subject to disclosure by court order.
If necessary, registrants will be contacted by law enforcement personnel who are investigating a crime in the vicinity of where the camera is located.
Registrants will only be contacted by the Mount Holly Police Department if there is a criminal incident in the vicinity of the security camera.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many residents and business owners operate surveillance systems at their homes and/or businesses that record public areas. As crimes occur nearby, they are not always aware that their camera system may have captured information that could help solve a crime. Likewise, law enforcement is not always aware of who may have this potentially helpful information. The Mount Holly Police Department is asking residents and business owners to register their privately-owned surveillance camera systems, on a voluntary basis. As our agency responds to criminal incidents within our service area, we may be able to use the security camera footage to assist in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminals involved. There is no fee to register, and your information will be kept confidential. This is not an active surveillance program being operated by our department, and our department will not have direct access to any of the registered private camera systems. The completed registration information will be housed in a secure network and your information will be kept confidential.
The video surveillance registration program will help our personnel quickly identify nearby cameras that may have captured criminal activity. After registering your camera, you will only be contacted by the MHPD if there is a criminal incident in the vicinity of your security camera system. Our officers, if necessary, may request to view your camera footage in order to assist in an investigation. By registering your system with its exterior cameras, you can help make our community an undesirable place for criminals to commit crime and to keep your neighborhood safe.
Two versions of the same form are available: one paper form (available by printing off the MHPD website or by picking up a hard copy in the lobby) or online form. On both versions, you’ll be asked to provide contact information as well as basic information about the location and recording of your cameras. On the online form, you may click on multiple boxes for the areas recorded, and you may provide any additional information in the box provided. You can unsubscribe from the program at any time. We ask that if you have more than one location you would like to register please submit separate forms for each unique address. After completing the form please follow the directions listed on the bottom of the form.
