Porch Protection Program

The Porch Protection Program is a pilot project to distribute camera-equipped doorbells to Columbus households to reduce crime, combat package theft, and improve neighborhood safety.

The program gives households the ability to:

• Capture video and/or photos of would-be criminal activity in real time
• Speak to package delivery drivers
• Monitor entryway activity remotely from a smartphone

Applications for the initial pilot phase of this program are now closed. Sign up for email updates to be notified if/when applications re-open.
