The New Windsor Police Department (NWPD) in New York wanted to equip its officers with body cameras to increase transparency and help quickly resolve civilian complaints. In addition to enhancing public trust in the police, the department was looking for the ability to capture forensic quality video at a scene if investigations were needed.
Of utmost importance to the NWPD was a camera that was lightweight, rugged and reliable to deal with challenging circumstances. The department took recommendations from New Windsor’s IT Department and began a testing and bidding process for competing vendors.
