Police offer online video upload feature

Hoping to tap the growing number of home surveillance video cameras, the Oak Park Police Department has launched a new website feature that allows camera owners to upload videos and photographs they think might be useful in solving neighborhood crimes.

The Police Department often gets unsolicited surveillance videos via email from residents. Officers also routinely look for nearby cameras when they canvas a neighborhood after a crime has been reported. The new image and video uploader should make it more convenient for concerned citizens to share video with Police.

Both residential and commercial property owners are invited to share videos and images with the Oak Park Police Department. Police say all files will be treated as confidential aspects of ongoing investigations. However, anyone who submits a file via the online uploader also may choose to remain anonymous.

To upload a video directly to the Police Department, just go to www.oak-park.us/policevideo and follow the instructions.
