$935,000 Grant from U.S. Dept Of Justice

Opportunity for DGLY - For in-car video and individual patrol officers with small mics to capture sound. . .

By the end of the year, Glendale police officers will be able to videotape traffic stops and crime scenes.

The department has received a $935,000 Community Oriented Policing Services grant from the U.S. Department of Justice that will equip all patrol cars with camera systems and will arm each patrol officer with a small microphone to capture sound.

Police will be able to use the cameras to capture details they might miss during an incident and for prosecution of suspects.

"If somebody throws some dope away while someone isn't watching, we will be able to see that (on the recording)," Glendale Police Cmdr. Denny Bennett said. "And it will be a permanent record of whatever took place."

The grant will pay for 112 cameras, small transmitters, infrastructure and storage, and wireless technology.

The technology will allow for an automatic download of the information when an officer pulls into the parking lot of a police station. The wireless download will save officers time and will prevent recorded information from being lost or damaged.

"They won't have to take a DVD out at the end of the night or anything," Bennett said.

It will be a few months before the department is able to purchase the equipment and several months after that before all the cameras will be mounted in patrol cars. Bennett said the cameras should all be in use near the end of the year.
