Morristown, VT, Police Using On-officer Video Cameras

The Morristown, VT, Police Department has begun using on-officer video systems designed to show incidents from the point of view of the officer involved. The video cameras are worn by an officer, and the recordings, once triggered, may be used to document the interaction between the police officer and persons involved in an incident.

The Morristown department purchased Taser’s AXON (Autonomous eXtended On-Officer Network) system. There are, however, other systems available, such as Digital Ally’s First-Vu system.
