About Canvass Global
Bridging gaps between law enforcement and communities — built on privacy, trust, and efficiency.
Our Mission
Canvass Global exists at the intersection of public safety and privacy rights. We've created a platform that respects individual autonomy while giving law enforcement the tools they need to solve crimes efficiently — without the surveillance state baggage.
Manually canvassing can take hours or even days. Law enforcement often has to knock on doors, ask for footage, and wait for responses. We fix that by connecting law enforcement directly with camera owners.
What Makes Us Different
Privacy Controls
Camera owners maintain full control, nothing is installed. No automatic access, no exceptions.
Community Offers
Camera owners are offered gift cards or discounts from local businesses when their footage aids investigations.
End-to-End Encryption
Your data is protected with enterprise-grade security that complies with GDPR and PIPEDA regulations.
Secure Requests
Law enforcement can request footage from relevant cameras near incidents, with full transparency and accountability.
Our Technology
Canvass Global is completely hardware independent — we connect people, not devices. Unlike competitors that lock you into proprietary systems, our platform works with any camera, any brand, anywhere in the world.
There's nothing to install and nothing to configure. We don't need access to your hardware or network. No specialized equipment or technical knowledge required — just register and participate on your terms.
This universal compatibility means law enforcement can access a much wider network of cameras during investigations, while camera owners maintain complete control over their existing systems and footage.
Our Values
Privacy First
We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, not a feature to be compromised.
Community Control
The people who live in a community should have the ultimate say in how it's secured.
Transparency
Clear, honest communication about how our platform works and how data is used.
Community Offers
When your property and data contribute to public safety, you deserve recognition.
