The 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette Police Department has provided body cameras to all of its commissioned officers.
The video cameras are worn during routine patrols, special assignments and K-9 operations.
They will aid in investigations by:
鈥 capturing video of incidents in real time;
鈥 helping with evidence collection;
鈥 preserving information at crime scenes;
鈥 improving the ability to identify suspects; and
鈥 assuring the accuracy of statements.
Video taken by the body cameras will be an additional resource for prosecutors to use during court proceedings.
Sgt. Billy Abrams, 亚洲自慰视频 Police public information officer, said the body cameras have another important function: 鈥淭hey protect the integrity of an officer鈥檚 interaction with the public.鈥
Officers have been using the devices since the beginning of April.
The body cameras, which are a little smaller than the average smartphone, are attached to the front of officers鈥 uniforms.
Abrams said 亚洲自慰视频 Police officers' response to the new equipment has been overwhelmingly positive.
UL Lafayette funded the new equipment. The department has had in-car cameras since 2005.
