Comal County Sheriff's Office is proud to introduce the C.A.P.T.U.R.E. program

CAPTURE
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

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 the crime. Likewise, law enforcement are not always aware of who may have this potentially helpful information.

The Comal County Sheriff’s Office is asking residents and business owners to register their privately owned surveillance camera systems. As our agency responds to criminal incidents in Comal County, we may be able to use the information or footage gathered from exterior security cameras in the area to assist in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminals involved. There is no fee required to register your camera system.

This is not an active surveillance program being operated by the Sheriff’s Office, and the Sheriff’s Office will have no direct access to any of the registered private camera systems. The completed registration information will be housed in a secure database, and your information will be kept confidential.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF REGISTERING YOUR CAMERA SYSTEM?

The C.A.P.T.U.R.E. program will help the Sheriff’s Office quickly identify nearby cameras that may have captured criminal activity. After registering your camera you will only be contacted by the Comal County Sheriff’s Office if there is a criminal incident in the vicinity of your security camera system. Comal County Sheriff’s Office personnel, if necessary, may request to view your camera footage in order to assist in the investigation. By registering your system with its exterior cameras, you can help make Comal County an undesirable place for criminals to commit crime and keep your entire community safe.
