Virtual Block Watch is one of the Phoenix Police Department's contemporary crime prevention and investigation tools that demonstrates the effectiveness of partnerships between police and the community.
Registering your camera not only helps deter crime, but assists the Department in its overall crime prevention strategy in your neighborhood. Protect yourself, your family and your community by registering with Virtual Block Watch. Registration is free, and you will never be named or located in reference to your camera footage.
The goal is to reduce the amount of time between the commission of a crime and identification and arrest of a suspect in that crime. So how can you be a part of it? It's easy. Simply register by clicking the link below and fill out simple information such as your name, address, types and amounts of cameras and contact information. After registering someone from Phoenix Police Department will contact you to verify the information and you will also receive a window decal to display in your home or business. From that point on, Phoenix Police will only contact you in the event of criminal activity in the vicinity of your security camera. They may request a copy of video from your camera that could assist in solving the crime.
Surveillance footage has become an important and compelling witness in our modern age. They are a valuable resource to fight crime and if you have a camera you can be of assistance. If you have surveillance cameras at your home or business sign up for this program today and you can help fight crime in Phoenix!

You can electronically submit an "Authority to Arrest" using our online form. An Authority to Arrest Trespassers gives police permission to arrest people trespassing on your property when the business is closed, without having to contact owner/management. This is especially useful for property owners, winter visitors, and business owners. By submitting an Authority to Arrest form, you agree to cooperate fully in the prosecution of any person subsequently arrested for trespassing violations occurring on the property.
To access the form and file electronically, click the link below.
In December 2023, the Phoenix City Council approved the Neighborhood Services Department's Vacant Property Registry (VPR). The VPR is an online portal that maintains contact information for owners of vacant properties that meet specific criteria outlined in the Phoenix City Code. The City of Phoenix uses the registry to notify property owners of code violations and property-related issues.
The VPR alleviates barriers by providing a free, online portal that is virtually available anytime and from anywhere. Owners can register, provide contact information, and gain access to educational resources at their convenience.
Proactive Education for Property Owners:
Owner responsibilities and Available resources
The VPR also addresses the community's need for an efficient response to crime, blight, and other related code violations.
Requires local point of contact
Reduces notice time
Increases penalties for non-compliance
As of January 1, 2024, the following types of properties are required to register with the Neighborhood Services Department if vacant for more than 30 days:
