body cameras

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department released edited videos on Friday of two police action shootings that occurred in October.

Fort Wayne officials violated Indiana's public records laws by not releasing police body camera footage and other records related to the drunken driving arrest of the city's mayor, the state’s public access counselor says.

The department, which has more than 1,290 officers equipped with body cameras, said its decision to implement fees for requesting videos followed a year of data collection and costs evaluation.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has released a new video series featuring footage from officers’ body cameras.

The state’s top law enforcement agency announced last week a $15 million body camera system to assist Indiana state troopers with their jobs.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, IMPD, officers are being outfitted with new body cameras. The camera program was expanded after recent protests and calls for police reform.

The city recently signed a five-year, $9 million contract, and will start outfitting more than 1,000 officers next month.

The announcement comes after two officer-involved shootings in less than eight hours last week.

IMPD Chief Randal Taylor said Thursday that none of the officers involved in the fatal police shootings of two men killed hours apart in separate incidents were equipped with body cameras.

This week the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department started a body camera pilot. Officers and supervisors will wear cameras for the busiest shift in the busiest districts, which includes North, East, and Southeast districts.
