Help Keep Bend Safe
Connect Bend is a public safety program empowering Bend residents to help keep their community safe.
Your participation will greatly enhance emergency preparedness by enabling police and other first responders to better assess and rapidly respond to criminal activity and emergency situations. It will also enable investigators to rapidly gather evidence in case of an incident. Visit the FAQ page for detailed information about privacy and functionality.
LEVEL 1: Register Your Cameras
Let's work together to fight crime! Register your security cameras with Connect Bend today to help identify area cameras in case of an incident. Bend Police Department will contact you via phone or email if they need your assistance solving a crime near you.
Camera registration takes less than one minute via our secure online portal. Registering your cameras does not allow the Bend Police Department access to your live video stream - it only enables investigators to know a camera is present at your location and easily request video evidence should an incident occur.
LEVEL 2: Integrate Your Cameras
Businesses and residents can take community security one step further by giving the Bend Police Department conditional access to your camera feed in case of an emergency at or near your location.
All you need is a small CORE device that you plug into your camera system.
Please complete Level 1 (Camera Registry) before proceeding to Level 2 (Camera Integration). If you have previously registered your security cameras, please go directly to Step 2 to purchase CORE devices.
