WYTHEVILLE, VA – The Wytheville, Virginia Police Department recently purchased 36 WOLFCOM VISION Police Body Cameras. The purchase included docking stations, battery packs and Evidence Management Software by WOLFCOM.

SPANISH FORK, UT. The dramatic rescue of 18-month-old Lily Groesbeck from an overturned vehicle inside of the Spanish Fork River in Spanish Fork, Utah in March was captured on WOLFCOM Vision police body cameras worn by Spanish Fork police officers Jared Warner, Bryan Dewitt, Jason Harward, and Tyler Beddoes. This is just the latest example of how vital body camera videos are becoming in documenting police work.

In addition to the remarkable rescue footage, the story made national headlines. The reason? Some of the police officers who rescued Lily claimed they heard a woman’s voice yelling for help inside the car. That’s what prompted them to run into the river and overturn the car. When they did, they found that Lily’s mother, Jennifer Groesbeck was dead and Lily was unconscious in her car seat after nearly 14 hours in the freezing cold weather. The police officers quick action resulted in saving baby Lily Groesbeck’s life.
