The Anchorage Police Department says it could take until the end of the year —possibly longer — before police officers have body cams and the system is up and running.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -The Assembly Public Safety Committee got an update Wednesday on the process of getting body cams on the streets.
Case says that procurement of the devices will still take place in March. Arbitration was made necessary when the Municipality of Anchorage and the police union failed to agree on implementation standards. That arbitration is still set to occur some time in the fall. Assembly Members continuously asked for more information throughout the meeting, but no specific dates were given for any part of the process.
“They couldn’t even tell the assembly members who the arbitrator was, or when its going to be scheduled, or how long its going to take, so there was some frustration for me certainly and assembly members as well,” Curtner said.“Of the biggest cities in the United States, 80% of them have body cameras.
Assembly Member Kameron Perez-Verdia voiced concerns that the process of implimenting body cameras may be getting dragged out.
