BPD's deployment of Axon's Body 2 cameras follows a year-long pilot program. The goals of the program included analyzing changes to officer productivity as well as reviewing feedback from both police and community when body cameras were present in the field.
“It is clear from the pilot program that the use of body cameras helps to build trust between members of the community and our officers,” says BPD Commissioner William Gross. “By moving forward with body cameras, we are continuing to increase transparency and public trust.”
