How to become a Police Witness
Becoming a Police Witness is easy: all you need is a high quality digital video recorder (DVR) and internet access to enable you to report the incidents you witness on our roads and in our communities.
But first, please complete the short form below to register:
Please feel free to browse our site to better understand our service ... any questions, just drop us an email...
At the end of this section is a link to ‘Which Camera’, a guide to choosing the right in-car camera to secure the best possible prosecution outcome.
A frequently asked question of many new Police Witnesses is: "Can I legally film or take photographs of someone in a public place?
Yes, most definitely. Think about the thousands of CCTV cameras in our town centres, a news crew capturing a feature, or indeed the paparazzi who chase and 'snap' celebrities. Anyone in a public place can be captured legitimately on film. Of course there are always exceptions, one being footage that may be used for the purposes of committing terrorism, and another is focusing on an individual persistently.
The PoliceWitness.com service is FREE to anyone using a Justice Camera.
What is a Justice Camera? In summary it’s a fit-for-purpose, quality DVR camera, sourced by PoliceWitness.com as a service for our members, ensuring that the images captured and submitted are of 'prosecution' quality and can be acted upon by the authorities.
Each Justice Camera comes with a unique membership number that identifies you as a member, allowing you to report as many incidents as you like for FREE.
Whilst we recommend you use a Justice Camera for obvious reasons – quality, fitness for purpose, value - other high quality cameras can be used.
So .... armed with your video evidence which has been recorded onto the memory card in your camera, you are ready to formally report as many incidents as you like via our ‘Report an Incident’ short cut button, available on every page of our website. It’s that easy.
Being a PoliceWitness brings with it a host of other benefits, from cheaper motoring insurance through to membership discounts and exclusive offers not available to anyone else.
Once you submit your first incident report, you are officially a PoliceWitness!
We look forward to welcoming you to the PoliceWitness community of socially aware and responsible British Citizens making a difference!
Note: This is needed for those persons not using a Justice Camera product. In this case an annual membership of £59.99 is necessary for unlimited use of our service. Alternatively you can purchase a one week membership for £11.99, again giving you unlimited access to our service. No other charges apply.
