Support Local Policing: Kent and Essex CCTV Registry

Date: 20 September 2025
Categories:

At Blake’s, we’re all about making Fire & Security simpler - whether it’s planned maintenance, compliance or the systems that protect your business day to day.

From time to time, local police initiatives might cross your radar. One example is the Kent and Essex Police CCTV Registry - a voluntary scheme where camera owners can log the location of their CCTV or doorbell cameras to help support investigations in their area.

What Is the CCTV Registry?

The registry is a secure, voluntary database where you can let the police know where your cameras are located. It’s not about access - it’s about awareness.

If there’s an incident near your property or premises, police can get in touch and ask if you’ve captured anything useful. You stay in control of your footage. They’ll simply send a secure link where you can choose to upload it.

Why Register?

Simple: it helps the police act faster, without disrupting your day. No cold calls. No paperwork. Just a faster way to get the right evidence when it matters most.

  • Speeds up investigations: Police know where to look first.
  • Privacy-friendly: You decide what, if anything, to share.
  • Community-focused: Works best when local residents and businesses take part.

Ideal for Blake's Clients

Blake's clients have quality commercial CCTV or video intercom systems already in place. If your cameras cover any public-facing areas - like your car park, front door or street-facing offices - it’s well worth registering.

How to Register

It takes less than a minute to do:

One for the Radar

If you're already working with us, chances are your CCTV system is well-positioned to support community safety - should you choose to.

The registry is entirely optional, and you stay in full control of your footage. But if it's something you’d like to look into, it’s quick and easy to register.
