Gwinnett Safe Communities is a collaboration between Gwinnett County Police Department and community businesses and residents who provide access to cameras, license plate readers, and other technologies to assist the Gwinnett Police, and other county agencies with responding to emergency situations more efficiently, effectively, and safely.
How it works
Crime prevention is a collaborative effort and by working together we can make a stronger impact. Gwinnett Safe Communities is powered by FUSUS. By joining, you are opting to use cutting-edge technology to make your business, community, and home safer.
- Once an incident is reported, Gwinnett Police uses real-time data from nearby integrated and registered cameras to inform first responders.
- First responders use this information to understand the totality of the scene and the risks involved – this increases the ability to respond effectively while increasing safety upon arrival.
Why Join
As the second largest county in Georgia, this program is designed to safeguard Gwinnett County’s residents and our reputation as a great place to live, work, and play. Everyone’s help is critical to this program’s success.
Early information means more efficient responses. When an emergency arises, first responders need accurate upfront information to determine the appropriate course of action. This helps keep them safe, especially during crimes. By accessing cameras, license plate readers, and other technology within the Gwinnett Safe Communities, our first responders are better prepared to manage emergency situations.
It’s important to know that your safety and privacy are our top priority. We will not monitor cameras 24/7 and integrating or registering your cameras does not occur without your prior approval. There is no cost to register your cameras and integration costs vary based on the number of cameras you provide.
The School Zone Safety Program is designed to increase student safety by encouraging drivers to obey reduced speed limits in school zones, using automated speed-detection cameras to reduce dangerous speeding where children travel to and from school. The program operates at no cost to the county, funded entirely through fines from violations, and also supports broader law-enforcement efforts through its use of license-plate recognition and video storage, which can assist investigations.

The Georgia Crime Victim Bill of Rights is the governing philosophy dealing with victims of and witnesses to a crime. The Gwinnett County Police Department is committed to the development, implementation and perpetuation of the "Victim/Witness Assistance Program" as created and administered through the Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office and the State Court Solicitor's Office.
In this regard the Police Department recognizes that:
- Victims and witnesses have a right to be treated with fairness, dignity, and compassion by emergency services, criminal justice personnel, news media, and the general public.
- Victims and witnesses have a right to protection from intimidation and harm.
- Victims and witnesses have a right to be informed concerning the criminal justice process.
- Victims and witnesses have a right to counsel. The Assistant District Attorneys and State Court Solicitors are responsible to protect the interests of victims/witnesses and to explain the case in non-technical terms.
- Victims have a right to restitution for expenses of property loss incurred as the result of a crime (O.C.G.A. 17-15-1). When restitution is ordered, they have a right to have that order enforced.
- Victims have a right to preservation of property and employment.
- Victims and witnesses have a right to due process in criminal court proceedings.
The Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office, the Gwinnett County Solicitor's Office and the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office are the agencies primarily responsible for the delivery of Victim and Witness services in Gwinnett County. The Gwinnett County Police Department's primary role in the delivery of Victim and Witness services is as a first responder.
