Eyes on Crime

What is "Eyes on Crime"?

In an effort to reduce crime in Oxnard, the Oxnard Police Department created the "Eyes on Crime" program. "Eyes on Crime" has three basic parts:

1) Security Camera Registry

2) Ring Doorbell Partnership

3) Axon Citizen

Security Camera Registry

The "Eyes on Crime" Camera Registration encourages the public to provide video footage to help officers identify and prosecute suspects of crime. By registering your surveillance system with the “Eyes on Crime” program, you give officers an idea of where they can find potential video evidence in a timely manner. This assists our patrol officers and investigators in locating video evidence immediately in case there is a need to piece together what occurred during an event or identify suspects. It has been proven to be a useful tool in solving crimes. Below is the link for Oxnard residents and businesses to register the location of their security cameras.

We assure community members that information provided will be for Official Use Only. The Oxnard Police Department will not provide information to any non-law enforcement agency and only then for Official Use Only. Also, the Oxnard Police Department will not use information to create a distribution list unless the information is directly related to registration.

The Oxnard Police Department will not use access to surveillance systems to monitor community members arbitrarily.

Ring Doorbell Partnership

The Ring portal allows the Police Department to request videos in an area where a crime may have occurred. Our detectives select an area on a map, and residences or businesses with Ring cameras receive an email that asks for their assistance.

To reiterate: We assure community members that information provided will be for Official Use Only. The Oxnard Police Department will not provide information to any non-law enforcement agency and only then for Official Use Only. Also, the Oxnard Police Department will not use information to create a distribution list unless the information is directly related to registration. The Oxnard Police Department will not use access to surveillance systems to monitor community members arbitrarily.

Axon Citizen

Axon Citizen is a new way to upload evidence to the Oxnard Police Department by allowing officers to send a link where community members can safely upload media.

Axon has been a partner of the Oxnard Police Department since the summer of 2016 and has been the application used in conjunction with the body-worn cameras. Any footage officers record using body-worn cameras is uploaded directly to cloud storage where it is kept for use in court. During calls for service, officers receive media from a community member and then upload it themselves to cloud storage. Axon Citizen allows community members’ video and photos to be uploaded via a link directly to cloud storage.
