Neighborhood Investigation and Images
Camera in Beeld is a police system where citizens and businesses can voluntarily register their security camera(s). Thanks to this information, we know which security cameras are available on each street. If a crime has been committed where camera images can help track down the perpetrators, we can specifically request those images from the camera owners. Visit:
