Crime Prevention
Crime prevention means using your instincts and actions to reduce a criminal’s opportunity. The Dayton Police department provides proactive crime prevention programs and information to assist citizens in reducing their risks of becoming a victim of crime.
The Dayton Police Department Camera Registry
The Dayton Police Department wants to partner with residents and business owners who have video surveillance on the exterior of their homes or business. You might have a multi-camera system or a simple doorbell camera at your front door. No matter your level of surveillance your participation in this program will help the police department in the event of a crime in your area. Register your cameras today by completing the form below and returning it to info@daytonpolice.org or via mail to the Dayton Police Department 13700 Zanzibar Ln Dayton, MN 55327.
Premise Survey
Business owners in the City of Dayton can request to have the Crime Prevention Officer come to your business and perform a premise survey. This survey will provide you with ideas on how to make your business and property more secure and help avoid becoming a victim of a crime. If you are interested in a premise survey, please email dmcalpine@daytonpolice.org or call 763-427-2017 ext. 252 and set up a time for the survey.
