Alaska State Troopers are testing the new cameras before the Dept. of Public Safety equips all officers body cameras by year's end.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - As the United States demands more law enforcement accountability, the Alaska State Troopers have begun to use body cameras in a limited capacity.
“The Motorola V300 will be the camera that we will be using,” said Col. Mo Hughes, an Alaska State Trooper. “One of the features that department has incorporated is, that particular camera works well with our camera system that’s in our motor vehicles.” Both the car and body camera’s will upload recorded footage to a cloud service storage system.
The footage will also provide commanders and attorneys more clarity of a situation which can be distorted in the memories of officers engaged in high adrenaline situations. Hughes said that the ability to use that footage can also strengthen trust between the public and law enforcement. “In some cases officers are being accused of things that they have done. In a lot of cases this video will exonerate or show what the officer was doing at the time,” Hughes said.
