The Baltimore County Council approved a bill on Tuesday that enables residents to share their doorbell camera footage with police through a voluntary program.

According to Bill 43-25, introduced by Councilman Julian Jones, the doorbell camera program aims to promote public safety, prevent crime, and aid in law enforcement investigations.
