According to Chief Barber, after doing a lot of research, WOLFCOM seemed to be the best fit for his department. “[After] looking at various bodycams and systems, WOLFCOM is actually the best fit for us,” said the Chief.

According to Chief Welge, Bella Villa P.D. officers have been using body cameras for years. “Years ago we were having complaints on officers and we decided that body cameras were the way to go, even before it was the popular thing to equip your officers with,” said the Chief. “Every department gets complains about traffic stops and we’ve had to go back and review videos. Since we got the new Halo cameras, we’ve reviewed several videos in reference to complaints and it has exonerated our officers each and every time,” he added.

MILAN, TN, August 29, 2019 – Milan Police Department has recently purchased WOLFCOM Halo Police Body Cameras and Lt. Jeff Goad claims officers are happy with it. The department has also been using the WOLFCOM Evidence Management Software (WEMS) since July 2018 and they like the extra layer of security the software provides them.

According to Lieutenant Jeff Goad, the officers prefer the Halo Body Cameras over the older model they previously used. “The 4 officers that are using them [Halos] like them, they don’t want to go back to the old ones. I gotta talk to the Chief, but we may be switching everybody over to the Halos,” said the Lieutenant. “What the officers like is the one button on the front. You just tap the button on the front, it records, you tap it again and it stops,” he added. The Milan Police Department currently has a total of 6 officers using WOLFCOM Body Cameras ─ 4 using the Halo and 2 using the Vision. Jeff also claims to like the affordability of this new camera. “The price of the Halo is great,” said the Lieutenant.

According to Chief Ken Bauer, the decision to purchase body cameras was preventive. “The way law enforcement is going right now, with everybody’s public perception of law enforcement, I just felt it [purchasing body cameras] protected my officers as well as the public”, said Bauer. Currently, 6 of his officers are using WOLFCOM Body Cameras and they like the idea of using this new tool. “They understand the importance of the accuracy [of facts] and, also, as far as any complaints that may be filed against them. In this month and a half, we’ve used it to exonerate one [officer] that had a complaint made against him. I pulled up the video and he was very, very polite,” said the Chief. “I think in the long run, most officers are gonna see the value of them. And that makes it an easier sell too,” he added.
