Let’s look out for each other!
Do you know your neighbors — on each side, across the street and behind you? These are the people who can lend a hand in times of need, so let’s get connected!
Take a moment to introduce yourself and start building a neighborhood contact list. Share names, phone numbers and emails so we can all stay in touch and support one another when it matters most.
A little effort now can make a big difference later. Let’s be a neighborhood that looks out for each other!
Get prepared with a few basics!
You don’t need to spend a lot to get started — just gather some simple tools, many of which you probably already have at home. To help you begin, we’ve put together a one-page guide — all from your local dollar store!
These low-cost starter kits can make a big difference in an emergency.
👉 Check out the list here.
A little preparation goes a long way—start small, start now!

Help Keep Reed Neighbors Safe
Connect San Jose is a public safety program that helps police, fire and emergency responders respond more quickly and investigate incidents more effectively.
Most residents will choose Level 1: Register Your Cameras, which allows SJPD to know a camera is present and contact you if footage may help an investigation. Registration is free, takes less than a minute and does not give SJPD access to your live camera feed. Residents and businesses who want to participate more actively can also choose Level 2: Integrate Your Cameras, which provides direct access to camera feeds during nearby emergencies through a separate device.
Help make our community safer by registering your cameras with Connect San Jose today.
