The division as of Monday had issued 1,152, or 64%, of the 1,804 cameras it plans to issue by the end of the year.
Most Columbus Division of Police patrol officers by now have received their new replacement body cameras, which among other improvements over their old cameras allows for video and audio to be captured for the two minutes before the camera is activated.
Layton said the division already has vehicle cameras equipped with license plate readers, but never this many or as efficient as the new ones. Layton said the new license plate readers scan for vehicles reported stolen, or those involved in Amber Alerts. Officers can't see personal information about a vehicle or its owner when plates are read, he said.
, the new body cameras will use Bluetooth technology to automatically activate when an officer’s weapon is removed from a utility belt, a cruiser’s lights or sirens are turned on, a rifle or shotgun rack is released, a cruiser accelerates to a high speed, or a cruiser is involved in a crash.The Axon technology also allows for video and audio to be captured for the two minutes before the cameras are activated.
