PATROL CAR VIDEO CAMERAS

     All marked vehicles in the patrol fleet are equipped with Mobile Video Recorders.  These units provide both audio and visual documentation of officers contacts on the road.  A digital video camera is mounted on the vehicles windshield and a remote microphone is attached to an officers belt.  These units have been instrumental in documenting criminal activity and prosecuting offenders.  The units are arguably one of the officers most highly regarded pieces of equipment.  The benefits of the cameras have been overwhelming.
