In the wake of the Nancy Guthrie case, McKean County DA Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer is reaching out to residents asking for their help to solve local crimes by registering their home security cameras.
The DA issued a statement claiming “This option of registering your camera at your home or business is completely voluntary and does not allow the police to access the footage. Registering merely lets the officers know who to contact to ask about any footage if a crime occurs in that vicinity.”
For anyone interested in helping, go to the Crimewatch page at McKeanDA.org, click on the “Prevention & Awareness” tab and click on “Camera Registry” from the drop-down list.
The goal of the camera’s registry program is to deter crime and promote public safety through collaboration between the McKean County District Attorney’s Office and the community.
If you have questions, call the District Attorney’s Office at (814) 887-3312.
