Help Prevent Crime by Registering your Home Camera or Surveillance System

When crime happens, the O’Fallon Police Department searches high and low for clues. The growing trend of homeowners adding home or doorbell cameras and surveillance systems has given police a new tool to help identify suspects or possible witnesses, even if the crime does not happen on your property.

If you have a doorbell camera or surveillance system, consider registering for our Residential Surveillance Program. All you have to do to participate is be a resident or business owner who wants to alert the Police Department about surveillance on your property. This only gives officers your contact information, not access to any cameras or video. The O’Fallon Police Department will only contact you in the event a crime occurs in the vicinity of your home or business. To register, please visit www.ofallon.mo.us/camera.

Golf Cart Pop-up Patrols

As part of the O’Fallon Police Department’s continued outreach to O’Fallon’s neighborhoods, the Community Services Section launched “pop-up” patrols in City neighborhoods using golf carts to patrol the neighborhoods and engage with residents.

The initiative allows officers to interact with residents, hear concerns and get a feel for what’s happening in various subdivisions. There are no announcements of where they will be to ensure the interactions are spontaneous and natural. The Police Department has also partnered with Operation Juice Box, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting positive relationships between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve, to share juice boxes with thirsty kids playing outside in the summer heat.

Officers have reported that through the patrols, they have had great conversations with residents and learned new information that has helped the department better address issues throughout the City.

Special Needs Emergency Stickers Available

In a continued effort to make sure residents of O’Fallon are as safe as possible, the O’Fallon Police Department has stickers (free of charge) that will alert first responders that an individual has special needs. These stickers are for homes or vehicles and are intended to aid first responders when interacting with those who may have difficulty with verbal communication. The stickers are available for residents who are deaf, have Alzheimer’s, dementia, epilepsy, diabetes, autism or other special needs. If you or a loved one is a resident and are interested in getting a sticker, please contact the O’Fallon Police Department at 636-240-3200.
