In May of this year, Whitestown Police Department in Indiana purchased WOLFCOM 3rd Eye Body Cameras for all 26 patrol officers in their department.

Chief Dennis Anderson told WishTV 8 that “Agencies that have instituted these, who’ve had problems of cases where officers had resistors, those numbers have dropped dramatically,” He goes on to say that “They can capture things the camera sees, that sometimes the human eye doesn’t see,” Chief Anderson said. “It allows us again to have a permanent record of those events.”

Police departments across the country have implemented or plan to implement body cameras. These devices have clear advantages over using just in-car camera systems. Besides recording incidents from a better angle because it’s always closer to what’s happening, body cameras will also record more details. If that’s not enough, some body cameras have optional in-car mount accessories that allow them to be used as dash cameras.
