STAR Watch Program

The Montgomery Police Department has launched a new police-community technology initiative that is built around a real-time crime center. The River Region Strategic Technology and Resource Center (STAR) is a state-of-the-art MPD facility that uses video camera feeds from throughout the city to work smarter and more efficiently, and to increase safety.

STAR Watch is a voluntary program that allows businesses, residents, schools, neighborhoods and others to share their cameras with the STAR Center.
