University of Utah police use body cameras on campus
University of Utah police are now using body-worn cameras to promote accountability; increase public trust; provide supportive documentation for complaints, investigations and prosecutions; and improve training opportunities.
“We want to be transparent in all our dealings with the community on campus, and the body-worn cameras are going to be a major part of that,” said Jason Hinojosa, acting Chief of University of Utah Police. “Whenever there is an interaction — such as a traffic stop, dealing with suspects or talking with a pedestrian in response to a crime — then a camera would be used.”
