Forney Community Cam Program

Forney Community Cam is the Forney Police Department's latest collaboration with the community. In an effort to deter crime in our community, we are partnering with citizens in the City who have cameras at their residence or business.

Video footage is increasingly becoming an invaluable asset in identifying suspects and establishing leads in criminal cases. We invite you to join us in our mission to provide the highest level of service in our community.

How Forney Community Cam Works

There are many businesses and homeowners who have surveillance systems. These owners can privately register their homes and businesses with the Forney Police Department. If a crime occurs near one of the registered homes or businesses, the footage could be voluntarily provided to the department in an attempt to aid in the apprehension and conviction of involved parties.

There are three easy steps:

  1. Register: Registration takes only a few minutes. You will provide basic information such as your address and where your camera(s) are located. There is no cost to register and all Forney Community Cam information is kept confidential. Register for Forney Community Cam.
  2. Verification: Once you have completed and submitted the registration form, a member of the Forney Police Department will follow up with you to confirm the registration.
  3. Call to Action: In the event there is a criminal incident in the vicinity of the location you registered, a member of the Forney Police Department will contact you. The member may request a copy of the video in an effort to assist with the investigation.

Registering your information does not provide the Forney Police Department with direct access to your camera(s). You will only be contacted if it is believed your camera could contain evidence relevant to a criminal investigation. Your registration can be removed at any time by contacting the Forney Police Department and requesting your information be deleted from the program. All Forney Community Cam information is kept confidential.
