Maryland – Md. police deploy body cameras

0

All police officers in Montgomery County will soon be wearing body cameras when out on patrol. So far, 745 cameras have been deployed. The department hopes to deploy 850 cameras by July. “Seeing [an incident]from the very beginning to the very end with a body camera is an a lot more accurate portrayal of what actually happened,” said Assistant Police Chief Luther Reynolds with the Montgomery County Police Department. The department hopes that the use of the cameras will help expedite court cases because lawyers will have video evidence to refer to. Reynolds says the cameras also help de-escalate events because officers modify their behavior when they know a camera is present.
